Playing this fandisc is obviously bittersweet. Itโs the last one, no more Code: Realize after this. A tremendous amount of love was poured into all of the artwork and CGs for this last game, and it is evident all around.
This post contains spoilers for Code: Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~ soโฆ donโt read it if you plan to play it!!

I actually got a little choked up at the welcome screenโฆ

Van looked especially cute on the start screen. Of course I had to begin with him.

I should say that when I originally played the first two games, I hid Cardia (the MCโs) portrait. Her face kind of annoyed me. It was so expressionless. Which, there was a story-related reason for, but it bothered me in the first fandisc too, not just the original game. Itโs the only otome in which Iโve wanted to hide the MCโs face. I found her more expressive in many of the CGs though.
Her portrait has been refined a little, I think, for Wintertide Miracles. The changes arenโt huge, but sheโs more expressive, sweeter, I donโt know. This time I really loved seeing her faces in the little portrait, and, well, in general. And Van himself looked amazing.



Then there was little tsundere Finis. God how I love him. Heโs so sweet yet so true to his character in the original game. I want to eat him up.

As you go around town, you get to meet characters from the other two games, even Shirley. That was a nice touch.

The Christmas decorations at the mansion were lovely too. Iโm really in the perfect mood to play this now, and so glad I held off all year for the holiday season. ๐๐

All in all the Christmas story with Van was sweet. As far as the content itself, it wasnโt my favorite side story with him ever (I loved Future Blessings SO MUCH) but I still enjoyed it tremendously. Visually itโs just so stunning, and Iโm looking forward to the bonus beach scenario. ๐๐ฆ

Also, I wasnโt expecting sudden ass so immediately after the romance of the above scene. LOL.
Thatโs all Iโve got to share for now, I may or may not post more if I have a chance, Iโd like to at least share my thoughts on Saint Gโs story (which Iโm currently playing) and also Impeyโs since they are my second and third faves. Thanks for reading!
