G-senjou No Maou Voice Patch Download Rating: 4,3/5 7144 reviews

Thanks to a steady influx of titles on Steam and the PlayStation Network, the visual novel is finally garnering attention outside of Japan. The downside of this development is that consumers are experiencing a wide span in quality across the medium. While we’re seeing a number of noteworthy efforts, bandwidth is also being jammed with the banal- from insignificant imported works to lackluster stories crafted domestically.

At first glance, G-senjou no Maou – The Devil on G-String might seem unremarkable, often accompanied by screenshots which reveal typical doe-eyed denizens posed in classrooms. But midway through the first chapter, the title signals its ambitions, as a character drops his decorous manners and lets loose with a steady succession of expletives. At this point you might suspect that The Devil on G-String is going to deliver more than just spirited banter with a quartet of schoolgirls.

Soon another crucial symbol emerges. As the foster son of a powerful Yakuza boss, Azai Kyousuke is coerced into running one of the organization’s quasi-legit businesses. No simple lackey, he’s a brilliant strategist, who has adopted his father’s conviction that money takes precedence over everything else. But he’s also obligated to keep his nightly syndicate duties a secret from those around him, creating a double-life when he attends school during the day. Almost everyone in The Devil on G-String holds these kinds of secrets, making for an especially engaging read.

During the day, Kyousuke enjoys the carefree hours casually socializing and feeding his fondness for classical music. But his daily sojourns become disrupted when a new transfer student named Haru Usami begins to question Kyousuke’s routine explanations. She also enquires about a person named “Maou”, which the protagonist claims to not know. But later that evening, Kyousuke receives an enigmatic email from the individual, plunging him into the criminal underworld.

Daffy was right, it is rabbit hunting season.

What begins as lighthearted classroom banter soon descends into kidnappings, murder and a restrained number of branches for The Devil on G-String’s storyline. Although the number of choices are limited, decisions won’t just give you single-shot responses. Instead, selections lead to significant forks in the narrative, propelling players toward out of four different outcomes. While this construction along with an ample supply of a 150 save slots encourages readers to seek different paths, replay isn’t quite as enjoyable given G-senjou no Maou’s abundance of plot twists. But save for a slight shortage of foreshadowing, the VN’s initial read is one of the medium’s best, elevated by faultless pacing and top-tier characterization.

As for the novel’s localization, things are largely positive. Sekai Project offers two versions of The Devil on G-String. For twenty dollars, you get the basic game. For twenty more, you can opt for the Voiced Edition, where a cast of notable seiyū (Kawai Haruka from Clannad, Kaneda Mahiru from Little Witch Romanesque) help bring the cast to life. While some might balk at the doubling of price, conversation is professionally delivered and helps to distinguish between characters, as only portrait and font colors designate who is delivering dialog.

Running the family’s tech support business is no easy task.

Given The Devil on G-String’s age (the novel was originally released in 2008), the conversion from 4:3 to 16:9 output is handled competently. Before loading, readers are offered a variety of fidelities which upscale the game from its 1280×720 output, optionally offering to fill any empty the screen. The transition means that some CGs will be cropped, but largely, the trimming isn’t noticeable. What is perceivable is the absence of hentai, with the plotline leading up to HCGs, but Steam’s standards barring the adult content. I went to the trouble of looking up the images for you; you’re not missing too much.

What you won’t want to miss is G-senjou no Maou’s soundtrack, which offers a pleasing selection of classical pieces, often with remarkable instrumentation. Given the game’s subject matter (the eponymous G-String isn’t a panty, but rather part of a violin), its little wonder that so much care was given to the novel’s aural accompaniment. Pleasingly, selections are given on-screen notification and typically play out with incessant looping.

Really? I thought the FDA pulled that energy drink from the market.

With Steam’s library is rapidly filling with a variety of visual novels, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate the consummate from the chaff. Although exhibiting a few blemishes emanating from age and cultural standards, G-senjou no Maou – The Devil on G-String is undoubtedly one of the better efforts out there. Filled with pulpy intrigue and a great cast of characters, the novel is indispensable purchase for VN aficionados and apprentices alike.

The Devil on G-String (Japanese: G線上の魔王, Hepburn: G Senjō no Maō) is a Japanese adultvisual novel developed by Akabeisoft2 and first released for Windows as a DVD on May 29, 2008, in limited and regular editions. The gameplay follows an interactivebranching plot line with multiple scenarios, and focuses on the appeal of the four female main characters. The title 'G Senjō no Maō'/pixma-mx860-driver-for-windows-10.html. comes from August Wilhelmj's 'Air on the G String', an adaptation of J.S. Bach's original 'Air', and Franz Schubert's 'Der Erlkönig' (The Alder King) known as Maō in Japan.

Gameplay[edit]

Much of the gameplay in The Devil on G-String requires little interaction from the player, because the majority of the time is spent reading the text that appears on the game's screen. The text being displayed represents the thoughts of the characters or the dialogue between them. The player is occasionally presented with choices to determine the direction of the game. Depending on what is chosen, the plot may progress in a specific direction. There are four different routes in total.

Plot[edit]

Main characters[edit]

The player assumes the role of Kyōsuke Azai (浅井京介, Azai Kyōsuke), the protagonist of The Devil on G-String and adopted son of a powerful yakuza boss. Though he acts kind and understanding in most social situations, this persona is a pretense used to hide his work as a highly intelligent and ruthless businessman. As the president of one of his father Gonzō's corporations, Kyōsuke employs brutal—and often illegal—business tactics in order to pay off a massive debt accruing intense interest. This debt is held against him by his father and is supposedly partially representative of the costs of raising him, 'down to the last sheet of toilet paper.' Due to Gonzō's abusive 'education' and the severity of Kyōsuke's debt, he views money as the means, end, and purpose of life. Kyōsuke also notably loves classical music.

Maō (魔王, Demon King, Devil, voiced by: Jun Fukuyama) is an alias of the primary antagonist of the game. At the start of the game, 'Maō's' background is shrouded in secrecy and little is known about him. He seemingly derives his name from Schubert'slied 'Der Erlkönig', but the game later adds multiple layers to this by including references to old role-playing games in which a Demon King is the primary antagonist and to codenames of the character's previous associates.

Haru[1] Usami (宇佐美ハル, Usami Haru, voiced by: Rino Kawashima) is the main heroine of The Devil on G-String. She can be considered a game-theoretical and observational genius as well as a musical prodigy, but her social skills are severely lacking, as evidenced by her awkwardly long, unkempt hair. Haru has a long history with 'Maō' but is hesitant to discuss it with the rest of the game's cast. Other characters include: Eiichi Aizawa (相沢栄一, Aizawa Eiichi, voiced by: Mahiru Kaneda), a close friend of Kyōsuke who harbors a comedic dark side beneath his boy-next-door facade; Tsubaki Miwa (三輪椿姫, Miwa Tsubaki, voiced by: Sumire Murasakibana), Kyōsuke's classmate and an obsessive diary keeper; Kanon Azai (浅井花音, Azai Kanon, voiced by: Haruka Kawai), the only natural child of Kyōsuke's adoptive father and a world-class figure skater; Mizuha Shiratori (白鳥水羽, Shiratori Mizuha, voiced by: Hyosei), another of Kyōsuke's classmates and the daughter of their school's owner; and Yuki Tokita (時田ユキ, Tokita Yuki, voiced by: Hokuto Minami), Haru's close friend with a talent for criminal psychology and negotiations.

Story[edit]

The Devil on G-String's story revolves around Kyōsuke Azai, the adopted son of Gonzō Azai (浅井権三, Azai Gonzō), a yakuza leader. Kyōsuke works under Gonzō in order to pay off the sum total of a loan taken out by his biological father and the costs of raising Kyōsuke himself under Gonzō's wing. He eventually hopes to reunite with his mother, from whom he was separated many years earlier. At the beginning of the game, a girl named Haru Usami transfers into Kyōsuke's school and introduces herself as 'a hero'. She initially ignores Kyōsuke, but soon asks him if he knows a person named 'Maō'. Kyōsuke replies to the peculiar question in the negative, but later that evening, receives a bizarre email from a 'Maō'. Due to his possible connection to yakuza turf wars, Gonzō instructs Kyōsuke to find and capture the enigmatic figure. The game's expository first chapter ends with 'Maō' directly challenging Haru to discover his identity.

The second chapter of the game, 'Kidnapping Spree', centers on the struggles of the Miwa family to keep their family's orchard, despite both Kyōsuke and 'Maō' independently working with a developer who wishes to buy the land. sdk for mac download free When 'Maō' kidnaps the youngest child of the Miwa family and asks for an exorbitant sum as ransom, Kyōsuke helps the eldest, his classmate Tsubaki, obtain the necessary funds via a yakuza loan. Depending on the player's choices, the Miwa family can be saved (granting an ending showing Tsubaki and Kyōsuke cohabitating years later) or forced to accept the developer's offer in order to repay their debt. In all scenarios, 'Maō's' demands are met despite the best efforts of the protagonists and Tsubaki's brother is returned safely. It is first strongly suggested in this chapter that 'Maō' may in fact be an alter ego of Kyōsuke: his psychiatrist is shown to be acutely interested in memory lapses that coincide with severe headaches and, for the player, with 'Maō's' activity.

The third chapter of the game, 'The Mephistopheles Murders', sees 'Maō' take on an accomplice in order to kill people involved with Kanon Azai's skating career. He poses as a radical nationalist to gain the trust of his similarly idealistic accomplice; Haru, Kyōsuke, and Haru's friend Yuki work to save Kanon and her chance at an Olympic quota. After capturing and interrogating the accomplice, the protagonists follow his information into a trap: the entire plot was actually a diversion. 'Maō's' actual target was Gonzō, whose enemies he had been arming in order to draw his target out personally. Gonzō had considered this possibility and evades the car bombing which was meant to kill him. It is possible for the player to follow an alternate path in this chapter which sees Kanon and Kyōsuke build a romantic relationship, and portrays her figure skating career in a more detailed manner.

In the fourth chapter, 'Blind Spot in Negotiations', one of Kyōsuke's classmates takes Mizuha Shiratori and a teacher hostage on the school grounds after hours. Depending on the player's choices, this can be resolved quickly and segue into a romantic subchapter involving Mizuha, or can become a drawn-out affair which eventually leads to 'Maō's' final plan. In the latter case, Kyōsuke and his fellow yakuza surround the school while Yuki Tokita, with her extensive knowledge of the criminal mind, negotiates with the captor. Surprisingly, the hostage scenario ends with the revelation that Yuki had enabled the captor to escape at the very beginning of negotiations, and was herself the mastermind behind the event in an attempt to financially ruin Mizuha's father. Furthermore, Yuki is revealed to be Mizuha's neglected half-sister, illuminating her motive. A second, farcical hostage situation occurs when Yuki appears to take Mizuha captive for the second time, but she has no intent to harm her captive. The situation is resolved just as news reaches Kyōsuke that his mother had been killed by a drunk driver.

Shortly thereafter, 'Maō' succeeds in killing Gonzō, who had apparently to the player discovered that 'Maō' was indeed Kyōsuke. However, while by all indications 'Maō' had been a dissociated identity of the protagonist, the fifth chapter, 'G Senjō no Maō', reveals 'Maō' to be Kyōsuke's supposedly-dead older brother Kyōhei. Kyōhei bears a grudge against Haru and Gonzō because Haru's father, a con artist and civil engineer, took advantage of the death of Kyōsuke's little sister to manipulate his family into accepting Haru's father's enormous gambling debt. Ultimately, Kyōsuke's father murdered Haru's father in revenge, and awaits execution. Similarly, Haru's mother was killed by 'Maō' years later; thus orphaned, the familial hatred became mutual in a sense. The title of the game is revealed to be taken from a recurring hallucination associated with post traumatic stress disorder stemming from the moment of Haru's mother's murder: whenever she attempts to play her mother's violin, she sees a demon creep up the instrument's G string. It is revealed that Haru and Kyōsuke met briefly and connected as children.

Later in the chapter, Kyōhei initiates an elaborate scheme that drives the entire downtown area into chaos. Kyōhei informs the police that he will demand his army of trained mercenaries and rebellious youths to stand down pending the release of several criminals, including his father. At the end of the event, as Kyōsuke escapes the area, Kyōhei calls him and fakes an emotional suicide. The ruse is quickly discovered and the police engage in a shootout with Kyōhei, apparently ending in his death.

In the epilogue, Kyōhei is revealed to have faked his death yet again, and pays Haru a visit at Kyōsuke's home. After a struggle and a chase, Haru nearly murders an unarmed Kyōhei out of rage; Kyōsuke takes the shot instead, in a selfless attempt to spare her from the guilt. When the police question him, rather than attempt to generate sympathy by painting the victim as a brutal killer, Kyōsuke attempts to enrage the investigators with a confession of cruel intent in order to blind them to the facts implicating Haru. He successfully eliminates her association with the crime, but is sentenced to eight years in prison. At his release, he is met by Haru and her daughter, who is revealed to be nearly eight and thus Kyōsuke's. At first, he regrets siring a child who will live with the stigma of a criminal father (like himself, his brother, and Haru), but he is soon overcome by the love in his daughter's eyes, and finally lets go of the past to live for the future.

The Devil on G-String is Akabeisoft2's ninth game in three years, and the second of four games released in 2008 alone.
