The Shadows of Pygmalion

The Shadows of Pygmalion

For as long as anyone knows, beings called “Puppets” have been an invisible part of our world. They operate in service of a force unknown, quietly manipulating the course of history.

Hajiro Mina is an ordinary high-school girl and the protagonist of this story. One day, she has a chance encounter with one of these Puppets, setting her on a trajectory to meet three girls—and ultimately changing her life forever.

The girls belong to an organization that specializes in the extermination of Puppets. They have been granted extraordinary powers by a doll named Ruka, and their job is to locate and eradicate the inhuman enemies lurking in the crowds.

As Mina finds herself entangled in this supernatural conflict, it becomes clearer with each passing day that there are greater forces at play.

  1. Hi, this is the first time I comment here in this site. Anyone knows where can I download the mp3 of this game? I really like the musics.

  2. How can i run this? I see only .mpk files with one .exe that doesn’t do much beside showing console

  3. That start though..

    Where do we come from? Where do we go?

    Where do we come from cotton eye joe? Don’t tell me I was the only one..

  4. At first I skipped this because of the No Sexual Content tag, but then gave it another go because I was bored. I am certainly glad I decided to give it another chance! Holy cow this is good!

  5. This was surprisingly a good visual novel.
    It’s also on Steam, so buy it if you want to support the devs.
    I’d personally recommend this.

    Pros:

    Plot” Mahou Shoujo Madoka with dolls + double the despair you = this.
    Characters – Pretty likable over time. Assholes at first.
    Soundtrack and art are good, too.

    Cons:
    The main character is weak and whiny for 85% of the story. She also earns the worst friend of the year award. Nothing wrong with a weak character because of the room for character development, but I believe her growth was just too stunted and slow.

    “Few Choices” tag – it’s literally just one choice throughout the entire game. You have no say in anything else, which was disappointing.

    Yuri content (for those who just want that) – barely. It’s more of a “magic of anime friendship” shit kinda deal. There’s some hints and implied sexual content, but it’s barely anything.

    1. Personally her weak character seems to be intentional and even plot-relevant rather than just a result of horrible writing. It also lends itself well to the kind of story they wanted to write. It’s not Propeller’s best work but it’s still above most VN’s in the market IMO.

  6. Already played it, some tears were shed.
    But seriously the game story was quite good, minus the slow beginning and
    +for the voice acting
    +for all the yuri subtext (actually i hink the girl loves the mc in ‘yuri’ way and one of the girl did say ‘love’ at one of the ending..)
    9/10 will feel again.

    1. Funny part is that for all the yuri tease, the most impacting romantic scenes were from a straight pairing. Surprising how much I ended up liking Jay.

        1. The endings are not “pairing” ends. The game just changes to the perspective of the girl who you selected at a certain part, and you get to see her thoughts during the rest of her route, or episode that is. Not to say there isn’t yuri hints, but it all remains unclear. It’s really hard to explain without spoilers. That said one of the three heroines isn’t even interested in the MC in that way.

  7. I also am going to pass due to no H. This looks neat but I like it when I can be a woman and make love to other women.

    1. The game is just shoujo-ai, pure tease. In fact there’s two straight couples mixed in as well (the second pairing is just creepy but it’s still a pairing).

      The game is more interested in telling an actual story instead of being a mere excuse to throw sex scenes at you and there’s really nothing wrong with that. Play a nukige if you want h-scenes that badly.

  8. It appears chrono clock (adult version) is out on nutaku. Will you be able to upload that one, admin? Thanks in advance if its possible!

  9. Wow! Don’t expect this to be translated so fast. I’ve downloaded the Japanese version around one year ago but it can’t work. IIRC the Japanese version size is bigger than what our beloved admin brought here. BTW, thanks admin.
