About This Game "Feed me, or I'll reap your soul!"And with those ridiculous words, my whole life was turned upside down.Sakuraba Rie, aged nine, is a cynical and grumpy girl who cares little for her fellow classmates, and does not have a single friend.That is, until a self-proclaimed demon from the deepest, darkest pits of Hell suddenly appears in Rie's kitchen and steals a tray of cookies.What will happen between these two young girls? Will friendship blossom between them, or perhaps something more?That is up to the reader to decide - but rest assured, no matter what, there will lots and lots of delicious food!From Ebi-Hime, creator of "Asphyxia" and "The Way We ALL GO" comes "Strawberry Vinegar" a slice-of-life story with food, cute demons, yuri, and more food. 7aa9394dea Title: Strawberry VinegarGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:ebi-himePublisher:ebi-himeRelease Date: 5 Jan, 2016 Strawberry Vinegar Crack All Type Hacks I love this game to pieces. It's a nice little game about a nine year old girl, far too mature and cynical for her age, who gets forced into cooking for a little demon. The writing is great, providing both charming characters and fun humor, as well as descriptions of food that makes you want to try eat the screen. As a slice-of-life VN it works really great, and the epilogues were surprisingly rewarding. (Wish there was more epilogue, I want to see even more of that romance.) One thing I personally would want to highlight is the parents of the main characters and the relationship they share. The mother and father are living in a BDSM relationship that seems to impact every aspect of their everyday life, something their daughter notices and reflects on. The father is really submissive, and basically functions as a cute housewife living to serve his mistress. The childs perspective on their parents BDSM relationship is really interesting in itself, and her insight provides some character growth to her parents. I really wasn't expecting this from a yuri VN that seemed to only be about fluff and food, but I adored what I got.One of my main personal negatives would be the age of the main characters. With characters as young as nine years old I found it hard to relate to the romance. However, with them both being far too mature for their age it never felt like they were as child-like as you would expect children who actually were nine, so that could really help those of us who have a hard time relating to romance between kids. (And the epilogue is fantastic, which totally helps. Did I mention the epilogue being good?)(For anyone ever planning on making their own game like this:) The user interface can't seem to decide on whether to call the settings for "Preferences" or "Options". This is a minor problem with a minor fix; having consistent naming for screens and tools in UIs generally makes using it flow more smoothly for users.. I love this game to pieces.

It exhibits some images of extremely tasty-looking food. Pros:- Over-the-top cuteness- Gorgeous artwork, featuring doll-like characters- Interesting story- Good writing- Multiple story paths, including bad and good endings- Some humor- Yuri (cute & romantic, not erotic)- FoodCons:- Some typos- A lot of recycled dialogue, but that's common of VNsSuper cute yuri story! I definitely recommend to those who like VNs and works of ebi-hime.. very cute, and any 'yuri' media that doesn't sexualize their child protags is a plus from me.. If you're a fan of visual novels, anime trope parodies, and gal pals, this is a game for you! The writing in SV is very charming, with the main character Rie having a very distinct voice as the narrator and clever interactions with the other characters in her world. The story is about 75% Rie and Licia, 20% tantilizing food descriptions, and 5% the adorable tale of Rie's parents.The soundtrach is adorably addictive, and all of the game's artwork and sprites are absolutely stunning. I loved doing every run through of this game!. If you like food and cute girls this is a VN for you. Nice amount of choices and couple different endings. Never had a game that made me crave food from home so much. I had to actually make Dango the other night thanks to this game I craved it so much from this VN.. \u273f Cute story\u273f Unique character design\u273f Beautiful artworkIt's a good short VN, I recommend it if you want something lighthearted with enjoyable visuals.. Oh my God, this game.Firstly, it's not written by a Japanese person so don't expect there to be any Japanese text in the options (which is not necessarily bad, just pointing it out).Secondly, the little girl in here is so freaking sarcastic and apathetic she could easily be diagnosed as a psychopath. It's actually pretty sad because she and her mother treat the father like an idiot (whom they both call an idiot) and he kind of is. Also, gender roles are reversed and though I usually welcome something so refreshing the way this game portrayed it was a little cringeworthy.The positives? Artwork is adorable and really helps cover up some of the dark\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665in this game. The food is also drawn freaking amazingly and I'm starving just looking at it.It's not too much money if you pick it up on sale. Got it for three bucks. Worth it if you just want to chill with a sadistic game about food and demons and people with demonic tendencies. But man, the father just really makes me sad...but he's happy...right?P.S.The grammar and strange sentence structure in the game was bit of a turnoff.. Incredibly cute VN that shifts the focus on romantic relationships between adults to the budding friendship between two children.Strawberry Vinegar features a 9 year old girl named Rie who is responsible, cynical and deep down very lonely. She is one day visited by Licia - a demon from Hell. Licia demands that Rie make her delicious food throughout the course of a week or she will reap her soul. Licia is here on a "vacation" to see what earth is like, and Rie becomes her caregiver throughout the course of a six day period. Although resisitive to having Licia around at first, Rie is unable to resist Licia's innocent, friendly and loving nature and learns that having a friend isn't so bad after all. The two girls bond through their mutual love of food and through their opposite but also complimentary personalities. The game has great music, cute and colorful artwork and backgrounds, and features tons of photos of yummy looking food! The photos of the food and ebi-hime's descriptions made me feel really hungry. To read through all of the unique dialogue, it took me about 4 hours in total. There are a total of 5 different endings, a wide variety of gallery art, and also additional things such as: concept art, cut content that never made it into the game, and the writer's thoughts on each character. Would recommend to those who like a very tame and light hearted VN (no swearing, nudity, etc), and for those who like ebi-hime's other workings.. I've played ton's of VN's, Don't always write reviews on them.. just the one's that stand out the extra mile! Strawberry Vinegar was cute all the way through! I try to limit my screen shots to a limited amount per game but unfortunately with this one I just couldn't stop.. the food in this game looked SO GOOD!! Beautiful game, beautiful artwork, a decent story, really hard not to like it & rate it up! :) I love cooking & with this, I was just too excited to see what meal would come up next.. I even had to find real recipes online for some and make them myself at home to enjoy. Opened up a totally new dinner menu for me this month ;) <3
