Platinum #205: Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫-

Hey there!

Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫- AKA Tear -Owari To Hajimari No Shizuku- is currently the cheapest available Visual Novel for PS4.

What is the game all about?

This game is a typical Visual Novel and offers everything this genre has to offer. There’s a weird story, guys with big guns, girls in bikinis, a lot of different endings and of course, a VR experience. Wait, what? A Visual Novel which requires the PlayStation VR Headset? Worry not, the VR element of this game is just a joke. A few times during the game you’ll find yourself in a “VR world” where you need to walk around and look at some white glowing circles. That’s all! The rest of the game is just text skipping.

What about trophies?

You’ll unlock trophies while progressing through the game and reaching different kind of endings. What’s specific for this game is that you’ll also unlock a trophy every time you finish one of the “VR” levels. The game is really easy and can be completed within a few hours. All you must do is to reach all available endings for each level. There are a lot of levels but they are very short and mostly have only one choice (answer A or B). It’s possible to beat this game without even without being able to understand Japanese. If you want to use a guide, I recommend the video walkthrough by my buddy IBadDriverI. Following this video, you should be able to unlock all trophies within 1 hour.

Where can I get this game?

To get Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫- you need to head over to the Japanese PSN store. It’s the only store where it is available and costs 1,620 Yen. If you’ve ever bought any Visual Novel before, you know that this is very cheap. If you don’t know how to set-up a Japanese account, watch out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail.

If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Yes, for fucks sake! It’s super easy, can be completed within an hour and is also the cheapest Visual Novel for PS4 which is currently available. Go get it!
