Heileen is a visual novel set in the 17th century. The characters based around the story are done in the anime style, as seen in many Japanese cartoons. The aim of the developers (Tycoon Games) was to create something different from the usual arcade games that we see all the time. As yet there’s no genre tag for this game, or is it just as it says a visual novel,
The following is the author’s scene setting:
Reference: http://www.heileen.com/ accessed 2nd August 09
Basically you have a series of images with text choices. Each choice leads to a different outcome. During the story you are given quests to complete. The game can be saved at any time by using the Esc button. You use a combination of keyboard keys and the mouse to progress through the game.
The following information is given when you first start the game up, but it only stays on the page for about 10 to 15 seconds:
How to Play:
1) ….You can use the page up and page down keys or the mouse wheel to scroll through previously viewed text.
2)….Clicking the Right Mouse Button (RMB) will bring up the games menu.
3)….If you are replaying the game in search of new endings, holding down the Ctrl key will fast-forward through text you’ve already seen
Preferences:
You can play the game in a window or full screen. You can also change the preferences to stop the dialogue auto skipping. There’s also a button for using a joystick.
Note:
The game contains mild language and has sexual themes.
This game is intended for players age 14 and older.

Conclusion
I’ve certainly never seen the like before, so it’s going to be hard to make a comparison against other games. The nearest I can think of to compare it to is those picture based point and click games. It’s certainly different to the usual arcade games, but I’m not sure that I’ll be keeping it as I prefer something with a little more action. I did like the music.

Comment by Stando — August 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 amWow, this is a really different style of game. I downloaded and played it on XP sp3 with no problems.
Comment by Molly McFixit — August 2nd, 2009 at 3:37 amCan’t really decide yet on whether I like it or not, I was expecting a little more action… But I do like having multiple choices that affect the outcome of my ‘game’. Also being able to skip ahead at my own speed is a welcome change.
Thanks GGOTD and Tycoon, I’m always up for new experiences!
