Tomoyo After

Buy on team here 'Tomoyo After' is a Japanese Visual Novel developed by a company called 'Key'. I am going to make a separate entry on what a 'Visual Novel' is. 'Tomoyo After' is also what 'Jun Maeda' referred to as a 'crying game', meaning it was meant to be so emotional and moving that the player 'cries'. And while, without spoiling anything,'Tomoyo After' certainly lives up to that, I find that aspect of the game somewhat annoying. Having played a few 'Key' games, I really like the art, the music, the humor. The sad part however, at some point becomes almost like "Ok, here is the depressing part again". I almost tend to ignore it at this point. Overall, 'Tomoyo After' tells the story of 'Tomoyo' and 'Tomoya', with kind of a 'coming of age' story, but more of a 'becoming an adult' story. 'Tomoya' talks about his job, increasing responsibility, relationship with his boss. But it mostly focuses on his relationship with his girlfriend, 'Tomoyo' and a few other characters.
