About This Content You're hidden behind the lines.I reach out, deafened by silence.As we mourn the Grasshopper's passing,Heaven's gate opens.Heaven's Gate is a quiet kinetic novel by etheraneAverage reading time: 40 minGenre: slice of life, coming-of-age, dramaThis is a story set in a parallel universe with a focus on True Realm characters from Hello Charlotte series. Therefore, playing Hello Charlotte first is advised.This DLC has a canon-compliant extra story - "Diary". 7aa9394dea Title: Hello Charlotte: Heaven's GateGenre: CasualDeveloper:etheraneRelease Date: 28 Sep, 2018 Hello Charlotte: Heaven's Gate Download No Password It is advised to play the Hello Charlotte trilogy before this DLC as it will help understand the story and characters in Heaven's Gate.You need to own the Hello Charlotte Ep3 Childhood's End to play this DLC as the file is found within the Childhood's End game folderHC: Heaven's Gate is unlike the previous trilogy of games by Etherane so be prepared for a change of pace & game medium. Instead of immersing you into a gameplay of puzzles, expressionist graphics that evoked emotional reaction & a surreal world Heaven's Gate takes your hand and let's you explore a kinetic backstory of the HC characters including Henrietta Warhol, Charles Eyler, Vincent and Felix in the True Realm.Designed using Ren'py this DLC is an absorbing insight into the relationship between Henrietta (Anri) and Charles as well as giving us a glimpse into the developing friendship between Charles & Vincent. This Steam DLC also features an Extra story called Diary in the game menu that details events through Anri's eyes that will reflect on her developing relationship with Charles Eyler as well as showing a True Realm version of situations covered in the HC trilogy. The average reading time is between 40 minutes to an hour with the Diary being a much shorter reading time, the character artwork is forefront with an image blurred background that is common in Ren'py and other Visual Novel programs such as VNMaker. There is a skip function typical to Visual Novels and a save option if you don't want to complete this in one sitting. I personally enjoyed this approach taken for this DLC as using a Kinetic visual novel style helps add to the reader's transition between earlier HC games that were based within the TV world\/False Realm and this DLC being focused in the True Realm. The story does feature mature themes for all the characters ranging from depression to attempted burgalry\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665and self-harm. I'm intrigued to see if Etherane will release anymore future Hello Charlotte DLCs as this was a fascinating journey into the characters from a real life setting perspective and it opened up more of their backstories from a more mature and clearer view which helped me understand the characters from an emotive angle as the characters went through their 'coming of age'.~~~Liked what you see? You can find more at Have a Word~~~. While I like etherane's world-building and characters, I don't like her always depressing tones of stories. Like, everything's bad and will be worse kind of thing. That's why for me the only more or less good game of Hello Charlotte original trilogy is the second one - it has some dark vibes but at least the story is consistent. Hello Charlotte 1 is just a big puzzle with minimal plot and Hello Charlotte 3 (Childhood's End) is just a mess of trying to put the story together and adding really dark and depressive themes such as a plotline of Charles which is... ehhh... I dunno, isn't that necessary overall.So, Heaven's Gate is an alternative universe where Charles's mom has managed to recover from her psychological problems, Charles didn't go crazy, and everyone is alive. And I like it.I like that Charles here acts and thinks like a person and not as a flat character added just for the sake of a tragedy. I like Henrietta - she's not \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665y or too sweet, she's just normal. I like how the game portrays Vincent - in original Hello Charlotte trilogy he's really flat. A really weird boy with some... ehhh... dark tendencies. However, in Heaven's Gate it's shown that Vincent in fact isn't normal at all. He's... you know, bad and awful. AND FINALLY! Charles isn't salivating over him and his ideas and actually thinks for himself.I really, deeply hate Charles of original Hello Charlotte trilogy - he's just too boring and edgy. Same applies to original Henrietta and Vincent. That's why I couldn't view their part of the story seriously in Hello Charlotte Childhood's End. It was just too edgy.However, here, in Heaven's Gate's alternative universe, they finally look and act like normal people. Charles is sweet and complex, and his phobias and ticks don't look so... frustrating but natural. I finally like him as a narrator. Henrietta's character is alright - etherane still can't decide how to portray her but this variant is quite charming. Vincent isn't an oversweet martyr but a complex person with his cruel inner nature. Plus the ending just feels... right. No one dies, and Charlie is finally able to think for himself.Heaven's Gate is perfect and I wish it would have been implemented as a true prequel of Hello Charlotte's universe. However, sadly, the canon is way cruel and edgy.My thumb up goes to Heaven's Gate game solely, the additional Diary part, I think (and hope), extends the events of the canonical universe digging up more dirt on characters, especially Henrietta. I don't like it. It's too edgy and unnecessary.. just take my money. Russifier pls!!. just take my money. Russifier pls!!
