Cricket, Crocket, same difference - Let's Play Hierofania!

Crocket is me. We are one.



Hey, does it even matter how it happened? Let’s just move on.

“Oh, I’m in the hands of a professional,” says the stranger.



A-are we making…progress?





GUYS, GUYS, HE’S COMPLIMENTING US. THE ROMANSU IS WORKING.



SHUT UP CROCKET, OUR ROMANSU IS DEVELOPING.

Why can’t we just say thank you and pretend it was awesome? /pout



He’s still smiling soooooo….Are we at dokidoki stage now?

No, bad Umazes, stop! There’s a princess to save right now!



…Why not?



…
Then why the fuck are we ‘rescuing’ her?



…Yeah, I meant that.




I’m actually inclined to think he’s right, but I don’t know…

So the princess wanted to room with zombies? She has odd tastes.

Gillian is pretty amazing, though, so I doubt anyone, Stranger, too, understands how great the Knights are.

Set him straight Cricket! He doesn't kno' no real Knights!

Bouncing between LPs like a ping pong!
YOU DON’T KNOW NUTHIN, FOOL!



Crocket, stop being nice. You’re making me look bad.



Yup! The stranger is not really impressed though, and just says we should get moving.

(Now we’re on the chapter La Princesa.)
Our romansu denied, we go as he suggests.



This room is totally different from all the others. It’s pink and frilly and girly.



C-Coffin?!



Crocket expressed my thoughts for me, yet again.
The stranger cuts us off before we can ask.




Zombies, vampires, what is with this game.

...Stranger, you have not shown us the inside of your mouth.

WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.

Princess vampires. The ship has sailed and we shall soon be in bat country. I blame Bela for this entirely.

Uh…right.




Typical princess, then.

Were you friends with her? Sounds like you two have some history.





…Yes, I will.

Satisfied, he says we should go and turns to leave.

Well, we don't know if you murdered her unless you show us some teeth, Stranger. Open wide.

Suddenly, we hear a crash.



I knew this couldn’t just go well.

There is a rustle of silk.




…

PFFFFFT, HER FACE




CROCKET, WHY SO PERFECT?
(That’s our 500th image!)

Crocket, I love you.

Princess u so beautiful!
xD
Crocket is a best protagonist-chan ever. Love her with all my might.

Princess looks like we all smell like manure. I guess the zombie fight did make Crocket rather sweaty and covered her in rotten remains.

LET’S JUST GTFO AND PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED.




This is killing me, guys. At least we got a new stranger sprite out of it? XD

NONE SHALL PASS. That means you, princess vampire!





I’ll say it again: Crocket, I fucking love you.

Hey, you shut up. You were human too, a few months ago.



My twin has my back <3

She floats towards us delicately, like a dancer. Crocket’s words, not mine!




Uh oh…

FUCK, WE SAID TALK, NOT SMASH



FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

She lunges at us.




Aw hell yes! Crocket, show us your badassery!




FUCKING HELL
WHY CAN’T ANYTHING JUST GO RIGHT

WELL, NOW SHE -IS- DEAD AND WE KILLED HER.

Crocket, you are sweet and adorable, but now we're locked inside the room and this is not ideal.

Impaled herself where? I thought vampires had to be impaled through the heart for it to kill them. Crocket, show her your stabs.

Shitshitshitshitshit
What do we do
Fuck
Okay, don’t panic.



DON’T PANIC.



I think Crocket’s doing a better job not panicking than I am.

That’s the truth of it, though.



…Is that it?




Are we just going to tell him so casually?



/flinching in the corner, waiting for an explosion

Crocket cuts him off.



…Why?



But…then we’ll go to jail, Crocket.

DAMN YOU, SENSE OF HONOUR.

He calls us strange for deciding on this.




Deedra appears soon after, and we explain what happened to her. She only giggles.

(Now on to the chapter Presa.)




I just feel numb. How did this happen? Everything was going so well…

And now we’re going to die.

So there you have it. We got an ending. I don’t know if Truth means this is the true ending. I don’t know what to think. It all happened so quickly.

I won’t do multiple paths. This is the end. Go get the game yourselves here, play through for the other endings. I know I sure will. This was a fantastic game from beginning to end. The music is fabulous, the art is quirky and awesome, the story is interesting. The fight scenes were well-done and believable. There were plot twists and surprises. I still want to find out more about the characters, and I know there’s more to find out. Crocket was a brilliant protagonist, from beginning to end, and I never got tired of her.

I’m off to find my romansu, if there is any.

Oh Crocket, we have failed you. I think I can safely say, though, most will be very motivated to find a better way out of this for you. Just you wait.

I think this was the first ending I got, too. CROCKEEEEEEEEEET

Thank you for this LP, Umazes. Without it I probably never would have come across this game and that would have been a shame, considering the wonderful characters and unique art. I'm definitely going to play the game and try to avoid sending Crocket to jail.

It's stupid all things considered. She was undead already, Crocket didn't kill her! Stupid clerics with their shiny clothes and stupid faces and... stupid being... stupid.

On my fourth try now (the game runs a LOT faster when you're not LPing XD) and I got an almost-romansu with the stranger but STILL DYING DAMMIT.

AW YISS THERE IS A BASICALLY-ROMANSU OPTION TO BE HAD
I DIDN'T DIE
SUCCESS

What no of course I'm not egging you all on to download the game
What are you saying
That's crazy talk

Well you failed to romance the Stranger.

This is NOT true ending. In the true ending you get the epilogue that basically says: to be continued. Because this story is only the beginning.
Hierofania 2 is in development right now :33

This is absolutely excellent news! I'm glad the creator is sticking to her guns. She's good at this!

I just got that ending. :3

Oh, this wasn't the true ending? I see, I will search for it now!

Ok, guys.
I really recommend you to play Hierofania. It's free, the music IS beautiful and sets the mood perfectly and the endings are MANY, they all are different and interesting, TRUE ending is yet to be seen for those who didn't play Hierofania yet.
It's a beautiful and, actually, pretty deep game. And I'm not ashamed to say that I cried the first time I played (I got true ending the very first time) and I got too emotional for words.
This VN is my favorite, my source of inspiration till this day and I have a very special place in my heart for this story forever. GO and play it yourself.
Visit Ludeshka's DeviantArt account, there are concepts for the second game. Leave a feedback for her, because I'm sure she will be touched and it will give her energy and strengh in creating her second game.

...Sorry I'm getting emotional again. I can never stay calm, while talking about Hierofania.
