You should be receiving nothing but mockery.Table of Contents. Introduction.Magical Diary: Horse Hall- it's just like my.fanfictions!.Released in 2011, Magical Diary: Horse Hall (Steam purchase link, $14.99 at the time of this post) is a visual novel-styled raising sim (well, not so much 'raising' as 'self-improvement') that takes place in the life of a young student as she's whisked away to the prestigious magic school known as Iris Academy, a premise that we no doubt find fresh and original. Here, she will not only learn the the ways of the five magical arts, but perhaps learn a way to gain a magical heart- by which, I mean she might find herself embroiled in tumultuous romance, swooning in the arms of a loving paramour. This too, is of course a premise that's totes original.Sarcasm aside, Magical Diary is actually pretty good. It knows exactly what it is, it knows just who its target audience is, and simply plays along with that fact. The writing isn't going to win awards, but it doesn't expect to, and as long as you follow its philosophy and play along, I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

Even the Deviantart-ish styling start to grow on you after a while, and if you want my personal opinion, it makes a fine break from all the anime visuals one usually sees in VNs. Hanako, Magical Diary's writer, also has a lot of other, similar games at her website, of which I can heartily recommend at the very least (not least of all is because I helped proofread a route in it ).Magical Diary's gameplay is quite simple, though far from the involved complexity of the similar (link is to an amazing LP by Bobbin Threadbare)- not to knock on the latter though. Most of the time, your choices will involve increases in stats, as well as affect hidden 'relationship points' with the 5 main romances, That being said, Magical Diary has more than enough material to supplement said romances, so even if our roleplay choices end with Mary being single, it should prove entertaining enough.Of course, you also get a whole load of choices with which to shape your character, and I intend to let you guys vote whenever we reach such a decision point. I will also let you guys vote on the kinds of magic our heroine will study (more on said magics later). Within each update, most of the game's text will be in normal lettering (with a few alterations for flow), and my personal opinions in italics. If it's not too much trouble, I'm also embellishing the story a bit- I'm not taking anything out, mind you, but my journalistic integrity (I have a degree in it, you know!) won't let things slide without a little pep.

This Let's Play is not intended to be a walkthrough! While you can get the general gist of what to do from reading this, and I will spoil mechanics and plot points once we're well out of spoiler range, I'll also be editing speeches and scenes to make them flow better.That said, I will not edit out any dialogue (knowingly anyway); instead, all I'll add are Mary's personal thoughts. At the beginning of the game, she's a little bland, only coming into her own later on.

As such, the original plan to only edit in a few thoughts is kind of scrapped. Kind of.But hey, enough of that- you came here to take part in a.magical adventure., so here we go!Here we see our young protagonist in her school robes at the character creation screen. As Iris Academy is a high-class boarding school, we are stuck with the Horse Hall uniform of green upon grey. Insofar as character creation is concerned, this is it- we can change Mary's body shape to something a little more curvy, as well as her hairstyle and eye colour. That being said, come on!
