  • The game features a heartwarming and cute story centered around three girls and their connection to an angel, making it a delightful yuri visual novel.
  • Excellent voice acting, beautiful artwork, and well-developed characters enhance the overall experience, making it engaging and enjoyable.
  • The inclusion of two visual novels in one package, Wanting Wings and its sequel Faraway Feathers, provides a rich narrative experience with multiple perspectives and routes.
  • The game is completely linear with no real choices, requiring players to complete storylines one after the other, which may limit replayability.
  • The all-ages version feels overly censored, with important content removed, leading to a less satisfying experience unless players download the 18+ patch.
  • Some players find the price too high for the amount of content provided, especially given the relatively short playtime of around 6-9 hours.
  • story
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Wanting Wings" and its sequel "Faraway Wings" revolves around a heartwarming and light-hearted narrative featuring three schoolgirls who share a unique bond over a childhood encounter with an angel. While the game offers multiple perspectives and routes, it is noted for its linear progression and lack of meaningful choices, yet it successfully blends cute moments with deeper emotional themes, particularly in its exploration of romantic relationships among the characters. The inclusion of an 18+ patch is recommended for a more complete experience, as it enhances crucial story elements that are otherwise omitted in the standard version.

    • “A heartwarming story of three girls and an angel.”
    • “The story tells the life of a group of schoolgirls who live together and share a similar childhood event, which is to have seen an angel. The story will tell the events from the point of view of the different girls, revealing who really is an angel.”
    • “Overall, the story is quite close to pure and sincere love between girls, which is warm and rewarding to read due to the diversity of personalities of the girls.”
    • “The game is completely linear; all storylines have to be completed one after the other, and there are no real choices.”
    • “I do recommend getting the 18+ patch though because, unfortunately, there are crucial details and moments that the story just skips over without it.”
    • “The story is not that deep and does have the typical anime jokes/interactions which you would probably expect from this type of visual novel.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a heartwarming narrative centered around three girls and their connection to angels, set in a female academy.

However, some reviewers note a tendency for repetitive events, which may detract from the overall experience.

    • “A heartwarming story of three girls and an angel.”
    • “If you're looking for a cute visual novel with good voice acting, fun moments, and a bit of a cute and touching story, I'd highly recommend 'Wanting Wings.'”

  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is characterized by beautiful, peaceful instrumental tracks that enhance the story-rich experience across four routes. The high-quality voice acting adds depth to the characters, while a diverse selection of background music complements various scenes effectively. However, some players noted a humorous disconnect with the lyrics, particularly for non-English speakers.

    • “Beautiful CGs, peaceful instrumental music, and four story-rich routes.”
    • “On the audio side, being a high standard production, it has high quality voices for all the girls' dialogues, as well as a wide variety of background music for each scene.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is noted to be uneven, with some characters, like Rin, standing out while others lack depth. Players suggest that those who appreciate specific character designs, particularly Fumixrin, may still find enjoyment despite the overall inconsistency in character growth.

    • “The character design outside of Rin is impressive and adds depth to the overall experience.”
    • “If you enjoy anything about Fumixrin, I would definitely recommend playing, especially if any of the character designs catch your interest.”
    • “The character design outside of Rin is lacking.”
    • “If you like anything about Fumixrin, I would recommend playing, but the character designs overall are not very appealing.”
    • “The character development feels shallow and uninspired.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is centered around classic eroge elements, featuring heartwarming yuri love stories and meaningful player choices that can alter scenes. While the game offers a decent length and high production quality, it suffers from repetitive events, reminiscent of the "august infinity" effect. An official +18 patch is recommended to unlock additional gameplay content.

    • “A release totally aimed at lovers of classic eroge, with heartwarming stories and high production quality. If you like yuri love stories, you will definitely enjoy this visual novel bundle. The gameplay includes decisions that can change certain scenes, and the length of the game is pretty decent, although it suffers a bit from the 'August Infinity' effect, repeating events that have already happened from another point of view.”
    • “There is also an official +18 patch that I think is a must because some games tend to lock a lot of gameplay portions behind those.”
    • “A release totally aimed at lovers of classic eroge, with heartwarming stories and high production quality, as the price reflects. If you like yuri love stories, you will definitely enjoy this visual novel bundle. However, the gameplay suffers a bit from the 'August Infinity' effect, repeating events that have already happened but from a different point of view.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Faraway Feathers" is highlighted by a remarkably funny and cynical narrator, whose wit adds a delightful layer to the gameplay experience. Players find the humor engaging and integral to the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The narrator was remarkably funny; you'll understand why once you play it.”
    • “She is funny and a cynic.”
