Preface: A heroine from the popular butter in 2009 has not been snapped once in 14 years. Until 2023, finally, it can be done.
On October 30, 2009, a game that has had a profound impact on today's aging two-dimensional pure lovers, R18GAL "Pure White Symphony", was officially released.
Around the 10s when the GALGAME industry was still in full swing, GAL with a variety of themes emerged one after another, whether it was scrapped, stomach pain, drama, hunting, horror, pure love, NTR and even the field of pulling works, there were countless competitors who came forward and followed, and it was very lively. In that period of GAL's wave frenzy, "Pure White Symphony" is nothing more than an extremely standard and bland daily scrap. Except for Mr. Hequan's character, whether from the perspective of the past or the current vision, you really can't pick anything special from it.
However, it is such a seemingly ordinary "Pure White Symphony", but in 2023, a full fourteen years later, it suddenly makes countless middle-aged smelly houses who have stepped into the social animal road, busy coping with customers' hellish requirements and having time to change diapers for their children, once again smell the fragrance from youth.
14 years, that's exactly 14 years. The 14 years not only represents the fleeting youth of a generation of houses, but also witnesses the ruthless rise and fall of the GAL industry in these 14 years. With the rise of smart platforms, industry leaders have closed down one after another, and countless large companies have had to turn to mobile games in order to survive. Last month, Yuzu Society's "Angel Riot" seemed to have laid a shot in the arm for the industry, but the splash it stirred up did not seem to be as rippling as people imagined.
(Yuzusha's new work did not cause the expected storm)
However, why at this juncture, we are talking about "Pure White Symphony"?
Because, although the process is very brazen and lustful, throughout the thirty years before and after the GAL industry, only "Pure White Symphony" has truly realized a 14-year-long extreme grudge in the minds of countless players.
That is, the super popular supporting character Qiansakai, who cannot be on home run in all versions of the game, will finally be able to win in 2023.
Why can there be a heroine in an R18GAL who cannot be included in the player's arms until 14 years later? Actually, the story is quite interesting.
As mentioned earlier, "Pure White Symphony" is not a GAL with a brilliant plot. It tells a rather ordinary and vulgar daily story: due to the change in business strategy, a school that was originally only a girls' school will gradually transform into a co-educational school, merging with the boys' school where the male protagonist is located. More than a dozen male students, including the male protagonist, were selected as pathfinders and were required by the school to go to the girls' school first, get along with the girls, and prepare for the next formal merger. So, the girls' school ladies who have never been in contact with men, and the love comedy of the male protagonist who suddenly broke into the big garden opened like this.
The main axis of the story is very simple, the female characters who hate and fear men at the beginning will gradually be moved by the behavior of the male protagonist Asassi, and finally put aside their prejudice against men and fall in love with the male protagonist by the way. That's all about the story.
This seemingly ordinary story has buried a lot of thunder (praise) that makes players cry out for days. In order to torture the player's desire and mind, the company behind "Pure White Symphony", Palette, has done a series of cruel operations.
First of all, there are four playable characters in the game "Pure White Symphony", which are the female school principal Qianjin Tsundere Miss Qianjin, the gentle maid, the gentle senior sister, and the male protagonist's three no sisters.
However, three of these four lines are standard scrap stories with contradictions and conflicts that are quite simple and daily, but only the routine of the senior sister line is different from the other three lines - she played a trick of "white learning" that was not yet popular.
(Mother and toddler)
In the senior sister line, the presence of an unraidable supporting actress who is hostile to the male protagonist will increase significantly. This supporting actress and senior sister are sisters, as senior sister's best friend, she is always worried that senior sister will be arched away by male pigs from other schools, and she has always resisted men, so she repeatedly hinders the male protagonist and senior sister from becoming better.
And this character who sounds a little annoying is the real heroine of our story today, the eternal otaku goddess, dry yarn.
From the current point of view, in fact, the white learning elements of the senior sister line are quite immature: the male protagonist gradually likes the school sister in the relationship with the senior sister, and the senior sister also likes the male protagonist, and the two are happy, which is gratifying. But the trouble is that during the period of emotional warming between the two, they have always tried to hinder the male protagonist's dry yarn, and gradually and hopelessly developed feelings for the male protagonist in the day and night relationship. She slowly understood that this man was really reliable, really Asassi, and her favorite senior sister could really be entrusted to him - the fault was that even she liked him.
And players will also find that the prickly dry sara on the surface is actually a good girl, she treats people kindly and carefully, and her prejudice against the male protagonist is not absolutely solid, the reward and punishment are clear, she understands things, and she is a sensible and strong attractive girl.
But it's a pity that this is the senior sister line. No matter how much you suffer from dry yarn, you will not be able to achieve happiness in the end.
(If there is no male protagonist, they are estimated to be lilies)
After all, you're an unhackable character. This game doesn't have a line for you.
Although the protagonist eventually became a family member with his senior sister, the heart-rending loss of love still made countless players cry. Why do you arrange such a bridge? Why can't I give her happiness?
Fast forward to 2011. At the beginning, the PC's R18GAL was ported to the PSP platform to fried cold rice, which was the general trend of the GAL factory, and "Pure White Symphony" was no exception. However, the original manufacturers were still a little conscientious, they understood that the purely intact porting was not sincere, so they would always add some new content to the ported version. For example, after the original Yuzu Society's "Tenjin Chaos" was ported to the PSP platform, a new route and plot of new characters voiced by Queen C.C were added.

And "Pure White Symphony" is no exception.
As you can imagine, in the PSP version of "Pure White Symphony mustu-no-hana" released on June 30, 2011, players have been thinking about it for two years, and finally upgraded to a playable character, and a new heroine has been added.
The girl who cruelly gave up her love for the sake of her senior sister's love affair was finally able to hug the player after holding back for two years. In the PSP version, Qian Saku became the most popular character in one fell swoop. This time, the one who was deflated in love was replaced by a senior sister. And Qian Sha finally stood up bravely, faced the most important senior sister head-on, and finally took the throne, and successfully came together with the player, which is gratifying and congratulatory.
At the time, perhaps to boost the game's sales, the palette also asked Manglobe to animate the game, which aired on October 4, 2011. The animation of "Pure White Symphony" is basically the final work of the animation of GALGAME in the entire industry. And as you can imagine, in order to torture the player's mind, the line chosen by the animated book "Pure White Symphony" is the senior sister line.
They obviously just want the audience to cry bitterly after seeing the poor yarn in the senior sister line, and then go to buy the PSP version of the game that now has added the yarn line, and the money desire of this business law has overflowed.
(Animation senior sister line, but BDBOX cover does not have senior sister)
(But in fact, the senior sister was placed on the back)
In this way, it seems that the grievances that have plagued players for two years have finally been satisfied.
Is it?
It's not that simple.
As you should know, according to Japanese law, the only platform on which R18 games can survive is PC. It's impossible for all other console handheld platforms to list any R18 games that contain direct erotic depictions — and that is true to this day.
That is to say, at the beginning, all games that were ported to PSP (or some other platform) in the face of the fried cold rice trend were castrated H scenes.
There are some anecdotes about this. Fate/stay night, which was first released on PC, included R18 scenes, but the entire game did not have any voice at that time. The all-voice Chinese version of FSN that we can play now is an integrated version made by the Chinese group by extracting the voice from the later PS2 ported version and filling it back to the PC version one by one, and also adding a new plot that only PS2 has. But of course, the PS2 ported version of FSN does not exist in the R18 scene, so the Chinese group we played integrated the PC version, and there was still no voice when it came to the R18 scene. At the beginning, a large number of people on the Internet asked why there was a sudden lack of voice at the critical moment, whether the Chinese group deliberately castrated and died of anger, and looked for voice patches everywhere - in fact, the reason is very simple, there is no voice at all.
So, although there is finally a yarn thread in the PSP "Pure White Symphony" -
...... But...... Be of all ages.
In the following decade, the palette seemed to have completely forgotten the stubble of "Pure White Symphony" and devoted itself to new works. Between 2010 and 2016, they honestly released "Moonlight Rhapsody", "Accidental Rain on a Sunny Day", "When Love Flowers Bloom and Cherry Flying", and also got into the "みんな捧げちゃう!". As a result, only "When the Love Flowers Bloom When the Sakura Flys" was originally painted by the original artist of "Pure White Symphony" and Izumi つばす, which received a good response, and most of the other films did not stir up any splashes.
(When the love flower blooms cherry blossoms, a glance and Izumi painting style)
So, they made up their minds and played a big wave.
Fractional business method.
It seems that they took inspiration from the act of splitting the heroine's line in "Pure White Symphony", and in the next new work project, they not only invited Mr. Kazumi as the character, but also boldly split all the heroines in a work separately. That is, a game consists of only one line.
This is the famous masterpiece of segmentation business law - the "9-nine" series.
From 2017 to 2021, a total of 5 works were released in the "9-nine" series, the last of which is a full-age post-Japanese talk in nature, and the other four parts contain the personal lines of the four heroines.
In terms of pricing, the "9-nine" series may not be excessive—compared to the full-price GAL of 10,000 yen each, it only sells for about 2,800 yen each, which is indeed a little more than the price of a full-price work. "9-nine" is a magical combat theme that the palette has not delved into before, and because the plot is more dramatic, there are many foreshadowings and truth pits that need to be uncovered step by step. And all the heroines will appear early, seducing players with their gorgeous beauty and seducing you to buy one new route after another. Coupled with the diversity of platforms (PS4, NS, Steam), the 9-nine series has almost become the most successful title in the history of the palette career.
(Last year there was even a concert.)
Few R18GAL can do this)
However, nothing can change the essence of the palette becoming a division of commercial law giants. A story has been told for almost 5 years, and the 4 characters have to be taken apart and sold line by line, which has gradually become a popularity. At the same time, Frontwing, which is doing the "Gray" series next door, also split the new work of the gray series into nearly 10 works (but the form is closer to the serial light novel), and once the Feng Society also split the "Sanctuary" series into three works, and it was pushed by many galups again some time ago on steam.
All in all, it's time for the end of 2022.
No one expected that the color palette suddenly peaked at this time. They announced that they will produce a high-definition reset version of the Symphony of Pure White, which will be released in 2023.
Fried cold rice is nothing, but the next news is booming:
They will also reverse port the dry yarn that was only available in the 2011 PSP version of the game to the PC to reset -
And - add H scene.
At this point, Qian Sha Qi, the super popular R18 game heroine who has kept her virginity for 14 years, spans 2009-2023, and is finally about to be taken away by players for the first time in June 2023.
By this time, Qian Sha Qiao no longer represented more than just herself. She is a symbol of the pure and lovely era, a victim of all the love persecuted by the annoying division business law, and a sales demon deliberately created by the manufacturer. Her existence is the best interpretation of a certain truth in the GAL industry: otaku are not willing to eat nest grass even in the second dimension, and what they can't get is the best.
(For example, the middle one, guess how many years to wait)
Fourteen years later, not many people really care how colorful the dry H is, and no one really thinks that there is much practical sense in perfecting the little love affair with her that was cut 12 years ago - but there are still too many souls groveling in society who were imprisoned that summer. They need to move forward, they need to knot their hearts that have been hooked by the other side of the screen.
This is the story of the dry yarn.
Finally, one more word of information.
You think the palette has figured out that you've finally come true to your players' dreams, but they're still mad. This is because the reset version of the game containing the dry yarn line is not included in the "Pure White Symphony" reset version, but is sold separately "Pure White Symphony - Yaki Line-". Want to reminisce about your youth with Saku? Please purchase the split version thank you.
(See no, the separate yarn in the promotional picture,
In fact, it was cut out from the photo of all the staff)
Yes, the palette is still playing with division business law, just as it did 14 years ago. They just want to squeeze the last drop of oil and water that is still mysterious on the yarn. Since then, the legend named Qiansaki has also gone to the grave. When she loses her mystery and falls into the mortal world to become the player's crotch plaything, no matter what shy memories of your youth, no one in the world will remember her anymore.
