Advent: Dawn Steam Review

|
By Cody Perez
| The Fandom Post Verified
A surprisingly solid recommendation for Zero Escape and mystery visual novel fans. What They Say: Seven strangers. One collapsed cave. No escape. A sci-fi mystery visual novel where every route to survival pulls you closer to a different companion—and a different lie. Will you unravel the mystery before the cave unravels you? Review: Advent: Dawn is a visual novel about your character landing a job at an island, only to arrive there and become trapped underground with six other strangers.

Interview

Why did you become a journalist?

I love writing and wanted a way into the video game and anime industries. I saw this as my gateway while in high school.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

My most proud work was interviewing Naoki Yoshida-san, the lead producer of Final Fantasy XIV multiple times. https://www.vgr.com/ffxivs-yoshi-p-reveals-fate-of-ishgard-housing-new-summons-and-more/

What's your favorite drink?

Right now, my favorite drink has to be Thai Iced Coffee. Caffeine doesn’t sit too well with me so it’s a very rare treat.
