Must Vinty remain as a nobody for as long as she lives (yeah, probably)?"Make sure you stay hydrated honey!" - Vinty's mummy"Omg, you're out with EXCELIA!?" - Vinty's sister"Fantastic story!" - RealReviewer23 7aa9394dea Title: Without Within 3Genre: IndieDeveloper:InvertMousePublisher:InvertMouseRelease Date: 3 May, 2018 Without Within 3 Download] [pack] lost within 3 days without eating. without within 3. without within 3. lost within 3 days without eating I loved this game as much as I liked the previous two. The way the story is told is very amusing and the illustrations are very cute. I really recommend you playing this game!. Since no english reviews exist at the time of the review, I write it in english to help, so expect some grammar mistakes:The third Adventure of our all-time-favorite calligraphist. An adorable Vinty, bad jokes and a new location to explore. What do we want more?Pro:- Pictures inspired from real Locations in Singapore- Like in WW2, it comes with YT-LInks to videos from Singapore- Poodle- Shower scene with Vinty ( \u0361\u00b0 \u035c\u0296 \u0361\u00b0) Contra:- Links to videos are available only for one textbox so they are easy to miss, so be carefull while reading- Art is typical WW, so it doesn't look that polished like Unhack 2 \/ Last birdling (Especially for the background). But if you are used to it it isn't a problem and it looks far more gorgeous than WW2.Honestly: It's basicly more Vinty to enjoy. If you liked her previous adventures you absolutely gonna like this one. Others should try the first game since it's for free.PS: First 40+ Year old MILF best Girl in VN History. Chapter 3 of Vinty's calligraphy story, very well written and seems the writing has gotten better as the story continues on.This time around, Vinty and Excelia investigate sightings of a ghost who had passed away years earlier... suddenly doing calligraphy again?Turns out to be a close friend of the calligrapher wanting her spirit to live on while still trying to figure out how to do the perfect strokes for her art.Something wonderful with this entry is if you click on Video, it takes you to InvertMouse's youtube channel and a video to accompany that part of the story. There is also a message option later for leaving a message to Kiki.Story was sad, beautiful, and a roller coaster of emotional stuff that happened over Kiki's lifetime.Whether this goes on sale or is at full price, I think this was well worth reading through..

Another amazing story, in spite of being once again buried in internet lingo. The third installment of the series doesn't disappoint, delivering the same chuckle-worthy comedy you'd expect from Vinty and her antics, but also this time giving a soul-crushingly bittersweet tearjerker of a side story as well.PROS:+ Funny jokes+ Excelia and Vinty+ NEW cast members of relative import+ Nice, thematic musical elements+ Clever use of multimedia+ An interesting new plotline and background arc+ A valuable life's lesson+ A low price tag+ A funny "jumpscare" at the end. + "OHHH, VINITY!!!" CONS:- Internet lingo ahoy! Seriously though, I get that it's 2019, but really dude? You can lighten up a little there, bud.- They STILL didn't give Excelia a decent, passable excuse as to why she risked all back in melborne. - Not as many videos as in part two. (I think. I may be wrong on this one.)- In one scene, there's a link to a website that my browser flagged as insecure, and that I didn't recognize. It seemed simple enough on the surface, just type up a short message and then hit submit, and it'll post the message on the board, as anonymously or not as you want it to be. But, all the same, I'm paranoid, so I'm running a full security scan and max-detail security checks even now.- No choices. Again. I'm sorry to say, but I'm probably not gonna get part 4, if this keeps up. The bizzarre array of choices was what drew me to like part 1 so much in the first place.FINAL VERDICT:7 out of 10, Above average.This story did lack some things. This I cannot deny. But it's an interesting read nonetheless; I totally reccommend reading it, but only if you've read the previous two in the series.. Wow, this went places both literally and figuratively. Especially the latter part. I guess I teared up a little at the end... It was well worth the read, and I'm looking forward to more, as always.Highly recommended!. Without Within 3 is the third installment of the Without Within franchise by InvertMouse, developer of other good visual novels like Cursed Sight and Unhack, also available to purchase on Steam. This is a short kinetic visual novel with comedy plus drama elements and tells the story of two calligraphers, Vinty and Excelia, which are investigating the recent case of sightings of a deceased calligrapher called Kiki in Singapore. Through their investigation, both girls will learn more about Kiki and her relationship with Tai, a woman obsessed with obtaining the perfect skills of calligraphy and also Kiki's childhood friend. I honestly enjoyed the writing here, the balance between comedy and drama was good in my opinion; this little novel has some nice moments where it breaks the 4th wall, and it will also make you shed a tear near the ending. I've always enjoyed the writing of Without Within, and this third title has definitely become my favorite so far! The art style is simple and it fits just fine together with the story. There are lots of little animations here and there, making the experience of reading through the novel even better. BGM was good too, it was pleasant to listen. Overall, it's a pretty and enjoyable visual novel that I definitely recommend giving a try. It really has a unique sense of humor.8\/10. Also, it took me one hour and a half to read the whole story, reading it at a fast pace. Hopefully, there will be another sequel soon! Chinese translation update: Thank you to everyone who has purchased the game so far! I hope you will enjoy your time in Singapore and Malaysia this weekend .Again, I sorry to the Chinese-speaking gamers who have been looking forward to this release. Remember how short the first Without Within was? That was the reason I could afford to pay for translations. After that, truth be told, Without Within 2 was already a struggle, and now, since Without Within 3 is double the length of the second game, I am trapped in a tough spot for this series. Perhaps Excelia will need to be in some sexy commercials to make these games sell better, but you know the drill; sorry to disappoint .For now, I want to give my heartfelt thanks to Molchunya, who has taken matters into his/her own hands:https://steamcommunity.com/id/molchunya/recommended/676130/Molchunya has provided Chinese translations for the demo version. A link can be found in the above review. As for the full game, since it is fairly long, I am already grateful for where we are at now. If I catch any updates, I will make sure to pass the message along.Thank you so much Molchunya !P.S. Thank you also to the Chinese players who have been such good sports about this. This series is already niche, so if there are any negative bombs, Vinty's adventures may be forever ruined..

Without Within 3: Deleted scene: Hi everyone! Thank you to those who have picked up Without Within 3 so far. Remember, once you complete the game, please consider leaving a Steam review to help other players out .I delete mercilessly during the editing phase. Words, sentences, and even entire scenes will be removed if I decide they are merely padding. That said, have you ever loved a character so much you want to know everything about him/her? I want to offer something extra for those who want just a little more.And so, here is a deleted segment from Without Within 3. This scene takes place early in the story when Vinty is waiting for her flight to Singapore. Enjoy !* * *I stroll to my gate and wait for the plane to arrive. As I sit alongside my fellow passengers, their voices drown out, and my mind once again drifts.A part of me wishes I'd received a ticket back to Melbourne instead. Adults should pursue new experiences, but I often get stuck in the past. How should I put it? It's like having that sudden urge to catch up with old friends.I flip through my photos once in a while, but nothing beats being there in person. That dark and cold walk to my hotel felt like a nightmare, yet now I can reflect and smile at my foolishness.Then there are the people. People like Grace, that lady who runs the restaurant near my hotel. I wonder if Grace will remember me next time. Probably not, but I hope she'll continue to laugh with her customers, sometimes letting a naughty word slip.I pull out my wallet to see the Myki card tucked inside. Melbourne will always be the stage of my first adventure, but I told myself I'd only return as a calligraphy star, and I intend to keep that vow.* * *Thank you everyone! I want to share with you my future plans with visual novels, so I hope to be in touch again fairly soon .. The future of Without Within (struggle is real): Recently, a reader asked about the possibility of a Without Within 1 and 2 remaster. Makes sense, since I would do a far better job now compared to 3-4 years ago.That is, assuming I have the required budget, and unfortunately, in this saturated market (one that is niche to start with), I lack the sales numbers to justify such an endeavor .First, I want to say thank you to everyone who sends me these messages. I still get emails telling me Without Within, especially the first one, has inspired people to pursue their dreams. If money were a non-issue, that would be enough fuel for me to continue.And now, back to the topic at hand. If Vinty's adventures were to continue, some major changes must be in order. Here are a few ideas:Light novels:Before Steam Greenlight became a thing, I had spent 10-12 years writing away, hoping to one day complete a novel of publishable standard. If I continued the WOWI series in novel, or at least novella format, that could allow me to fulfil that dream. Light novels, after all, would be far cheaper to produce.Format shifts:Alternately, WOWI could remain in visual novel form. It will, however, need to go through drastic format changes. Have you played Narcissu? It would be more along those lines. Less images, and the text takes center stage. To many players, this will be seen as a downgrade. Translations:Here comes another hurdle—translation costs. Without Within 1 and 2 featured Chinese translations, but not the third instalment. As a script expands, translation costs also balloon. Visual novels contain more text than traditional games, which restricts localization possibilities.Full circle:The first game I published on Steam was Unhack, which attempted to combine storytelling and gameplay. By the way, did you know I program for my day job? In fact, I have loved to code since around 8-9 years old.With that said, I would like to come full circle and once again put those skills to use. And so, for the foreseeable future, I am going back to traditional games.Clea:I would like to introduce you to Clea, a horror title I have been working on:There is currently a prototype available, with a limited time to submit feedback and have your name listed under special thanks:https://steamcommunity.com/games/981020/announcements/detail/1708449632692798961Official webpage (with prototype links):http://clea.invertmouse.comClosing thoughts:In summary, the Without Within series cannot continue in its current format. Still, I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas. I hope you can share them with me in the comments below.Thank you so much! Vinty and I thank you .. Pre-release sale!: Friends, Without Within 3 will be released in three days ! To prep for that, we have a sale going on:https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=InvertMouseThank you! Let's hang out with VInty this Friday .. Quick Q&A: Hi everyone . Vinty's third adventure kicks off in less than four days! With that on the horizon, I want to answer a few questions that will no doubt pop up on release date.* * *1) Chinese translations:. Unlikely inspiration: My mum loves Chinese Opera. If you have no idea what that is, I would not blame you. After all, their events do not always fill out stadiums. Not anymore, at least.During a Singapore trip with the fam, I had begun to plan out WOWI 3. Meanwhile, there was a Chinese Opera show going on, and we made sure Mum would get to attend.That afternoon, I met up with a couple of online friends to hang out. Afterward, I joined my mum for some Chinese Opera. I arrived, and there the actors were, exactly as they typically appeared on those VHS tapes Mum used to watch. These actors must have rehearsed vigorously to prep for this show. Let’s hope lots of people rock up!Oh, just Mum, my brother, me, plus 3 to 4 others in attendance.Well, the show must go on, and we made sure to stay for the whole thing. That night, I jotted a reminder for myself. During those Kiki VS Excelia calligraphy battles, make sure to mention the majority of people do not care in the slightest. Vinty, at least for now, has opted to continue her niche calligraphy pursuits. For that, she has my respect.Whenever I want to let go of that gas pedal, I would remember those Chinese Opera actors from Singapore. They have no idea, but they have become an unlikely source of motivation.Because above all else, they love what they came on this earth to do.. Without Within 3: Location scouting: Without Within 3 takes place in Singapore and Malaysia. As Vinty travels to different locations, players will be able to view the real-life counterparts via YouTube.When we use real locations, there is an extra layer of complexity involved. Is it okay to feature these iconic sights in your game? Hey, just ask. Look up a website, and chances are, there will be an address you can use to contact the staff.Some companies will straight up say yes, while others may ask some questions first. In WOWI3’s case, the illustrations often have to be sent over for approval. It is better to take things one step at a time. If someone requests edits to your finalized artwork, that would be a waste of both time and money.By the time I sent out permission requests for Without Within 3, I had already returned from Singapore and Malaysia. Several companies had offered to grant me free entry into their venues (for research), but I was unable to take advantage of these offers. You may want to take this into consideration for your own projects.Please look forward to Without Within 3 !. Muse: I am not romantic enough for the muse, so I instead focus on research and practice. That way, when the time comes to execute, I will have my fundamentals to rely upon. For Without Within 3, however, things were a bit different.I was on a trip to Malaysia two to three years back. One night, I came across a beach in Penang, and things suddenly clicked. How about a calligrapher ghost sighting? Who, what, how—the hard work came afterward with conscious plotting, but the initial concepts had flooded in without effort.From that moment on, I started to study the benefits of the subconscious. Before the trip, I must have thought, “You know, a third game would be nice round about now.” Then I put that aside and let instincts go to work. When the time is right, I trust the answers will surface on their own.I am still not romantic enough for the muse, but when it calls, I am running with it all the way.Three weeks until Vinty's third adventure begins !. Without Within 3 released!: Hey everyone . Without Within 3 has just been released!The previous game is also on sale until the end of the week, so if you want to catch up, this weekend may be a great time to do so.Also, as always, if you could drop a review afterward, that would be much appreciated, as it will help other gamers out a lot.Thank you for your support! See you in Singapore and Malaysia .
