Hear from the Players – Sifting Thyme Visual Novel Reviews
Find out what gamers are saying about Sifting Thyme Visual Novel:
The game itself is great, however it would be much nicer if that could include a skip button so when you replay for another route, itd be much easier (especially because the first few chapters are longer)
Its a pretty good story with decent characters that are easy to like. The music is nice and the art is beautiful. Unfortunately theres no real idea of how to get the characters you want and no skip button. We also would have really loved it if they added more illustrations of the food since its a story about food but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
Update: The review below still applies, but we’ve noticed there is a lack of skip button, which makes the early chapters a little long to replay. We hope one gets implemented somehow, but either way its still a great game! We love this game. Seriously, thank you devs for something so cute and well-written. To start off, the story is adorable – its a slice of life with actual character growth throughout the course of 13 chapters. The main character is fantastic. She actually seemed competent and had her own goals/friends. The LIs are varied and each feel like actual people outside of the protagonist (and had convincing dynamics with each other). Geoffrey was our least favorite, and we still wanted him to be happy. They all make you care about them regardless of their route. Each one has something to grow from, and it was super satisfying to see them find their ground. Finally, its all for a low, one time price. We will be trying any game that these guys put out from now on, and we’ve already bought a pin set off their merch store. Fantastic game that we cannot recommend enough (especially for the price).
Enjoyable, slice-of-life style game; the characters are unique and have their charms. We just have two major complaints: 1) an inability to skip, which would not be too big a problem if not for 2) a lack of clear guidance on unlocking romance options. The game does not show which options are the right choices that will enable you to pick specific romance routes in Chapter 9, and no walkthroughs are available (apparently this was a Kickstarter exclusive?). We have played through twice now, and even though we made different choices, we were only able to unlock the same two routes. We find it frustrating that if we want to unlock all the routes we will have to repeatedly run through unskippable scenes while engaging in meticulous notetaking. As things stand, we are unlikely to finish the game, which is a real shame given that we liked the story + we paid for it.
This is a sweet little game and we really am enjoying it! Would absolutely benefit from having a skip button though, its quite time consuming to skip through dialogue as is now.
All the boys are so cute and lovable!!! Def play for a good romantic time :)
So we dislike that it’s ending because we’re so in love with the story and the characters we will probably buy any game they come out with because we loved this one so much it’s all so beautifully written for people who are considering playing and if you are its so worth it ) the art its So detailed the guys’ faces are just remarkable you can tell how much time and effort they put into this game they even have different facial expressions which we love and the story is written so beautifully we dont wanna put it down it makes your heart flutter and warm it also makes us wanna go out and try foods that we have never had before if you love choice stories anime looking boys and food, they also have Instagram if you wanna follow them just to see more stuff about the game if your thinking about getting it maybe it will help you decide! Leo was our favorite we went in this having wanting to pick geff because he has pink hair but started in and reading four chapters having love for Jamie but then we had to do Leo because we knew there had to be a sweet spot when we were doing Jamie’s route Leo is actually a loveable so please don’t hesitate to love the lemon prince then Tyler the childhood best friend he is so precious and we know nothing about sports really but in one of the chapters we were so interested in what was going on in tylers game after something happened we were like oh no! But if you guys put out more merch for this is buy it !
We dont normally bother writing reviews for games but we cant help it for this one! The game contains clean and refreshing background/character art and educational little tidbits about cooking in general. To be honest, its the first game we’ve ever played that seemed to emphasize teaching the players while roping them into copious amounts of fluff from the romance options. A good thing we noticed about this game is that unlike other romance visual novels the player is allowed to follow through two romance options at once due to having two save slots available. The four romance options are all sweet and easy to fall in love with. Another amazing thing about this game is that the developers themselves are quite fun to interact with on social media. Each question we’ve asked has been answered as fast as possible and we’ve even exchanged some memes with Nochi Studios.
The boys are so cute and absolutely adore the writing. Extremely appreciate that the MC holds their own against the LIs and has a great relationship with them!!! We need to play all the routes now.
We remember running into the creators at a booth during an anime convention waaaay back in the day. We are so happy to see all their hard work paid off!
We were first drawn into the game by the beautiful character designs, then further fell in love with the gorgeous backgrounds. The story was fun and educational. The replay value is very high with the different paths we can try! We just wish new chapters came out faster.
Much needed refreshing wholesome content in a genre plagued with sexism.
We just started playing it today and Im already in love, the story line is very interesting and we love the art style, cant wait to see where the story leads.
Who could deny food puns and a dating game the storyline is cheesy but also really fun to play through ; the characters are awesome, and the overall art is beautiful literally craving for more!!!
Everything about it is absolutely adorable we love the characters, art, and storyline so much! We already know we’ll be playing multiple times through to hit every route lolol.
Where to start? First, we’ve played a lot of romance games, and this one is by far the best! The characters are and the storyline is super engaging. If you are looking for a game where the male characters appreciate a smart woman and its actually relevant, then this is it. We didnt realize how tired we were of being patronized by the characters in other games. Also, as a foodie myself, we had fun being the newest student at Lincoln Culinary Academy, and evening learned a few things we can use in our everyday life. Cant wait for the next chapters!
This game. Interactions are interesting from the first moment, and we love the sustainability message. Also, the art is amazing!
We love how relevant the story is!! (Trying not to give away spoilers >w<)
Our new favorite game!! We love how it provides food education in its storylines and the character are all amazing~~ love it.
We bought this today after seeing it on our tumblr feed a few times. We’ve played pretty much every visual novel out there, so this is a genre we’re already invested in. We tend to skip titles that are only available on mobile, so we wasn’t sure how we would like it–but it’s not all that different from a PC visual novel. The art is clean, attractive, and professional, if not in a style that we usually prefer. The writing is good with good editing. The menus and GUI are good, even if we’re missing a couple of the options you find in PC games (namely, the option to skip through seen dialogue). You have the option to play as a "boy" or "girl," but it would be cool if that language was changed to he/him, she/her, and then really make us happy by adding a they/them option. The premise/story is really cute, and we enjoyed it more than we expected. Even if it didn’t have a romance option, we would still enjoy playing the culinary school story. We really like how the story and character interactions are really the focus. You have the chance to befriend everyone even if you don’t want to romance them. It’s definitely a "slow burn" type romance. In fact, in the first 7 chapters, we’re not sure there’s really a "romance" to speak of with any of the 4 ROs. You’re just slowly getting to know each other while studying hard at culinary school and… We really liked that a lot more than we thought we would. We think each of the ROs are interesting and have unique and well-developed personalities. We like all of them! Perhaps the best character in the game is the adorable, pumpkin-loving Robin–the MCs roommate. We always like it when romance visual novels have friend characters. It’s weird when MCs only interact with the ROs, so we’re glad you don’t have to worry about that in this game so much. With that said, there could be more Robin! (like include them in the texts and social media posts) we’re looking forward to seeing them more in future updates. Anyway, we really enjoyed playing the first 7 chapters of this game (I’ve already played through a few times to get all the CGs). We feel like it’s definitely worth the $5 if you’re a fan of otome visual novels and/or cooking stories.
We love this game! The artwork is beautiful and the story is great! We loved beta testing and am so happy its finally been released on ios!!
