I’m going to try and play through the free games by doing a daily let’s play. I usually forget to check the story and play… 
So the first one on my list is The Niflheim+ from Shall We Date, one because I love the art in SWD games and two, because it’s full of spoopy creppy imagery and I am all over that!
The game opens with the protagonist waking up from a rapping upon her wooden door.
The voice calls softly, “Princess, Princess”
When she opens her eyes, we see two figures.
That’s errr…. errrrrrrr…….. Okay, so I admit that I live in the land of cowboys, so seeing one in an outfit like that is throwing me for a loop. They look like they’re supposed to be in the Cirque du Soleil. 
One of the figures says, “Oh, is that the Princess?” and the prologue to prologue ends.
Main Story 1
Protagonist hears a loud creak and the door opens.
Protagonist is mostly blinded by his beauty. He reaches out and touches her eyelids. 
uhh… okay……………..“Goodness! My eyelids feel so much lighter now!” Protagonist thinks. Well… the art is good, let’s keep playing.
The man introduces himself as Orlando and he is here to assist in her awakening. Orlando compliments her on her beauty. She wishes she could rise and talk to him, but she still doesn’t have the strength to move.As she wishes for help, another man looks through the door.
He touches her lips and she can speak again. She’s happy for this and asks his name. He says his name is Philippe, and he is one of the ones who seek to awaken her. (Ten bucks says she’s in a coffin) Philippe is also full of sweet nothings and she asks him to help her move. Another person peers in and says he can help her with that. He taps her arms and she can move again.
He introduces himself as J.J., a scientist of Niflheim. He waxes poetic about life and death and she talks about his dress style before deciding something smelled odd. He steps back because he’s a tad weirded out by her sniffing.
She still can’t move, so she asks him to lighten her legs. Her actions made him feel like he stank, but she reassures him that it was mere curiosity that prompted her to sniff.
When he steps up close she lavishes compliments on his good looks. J.J. comments that not even science can explain women’s thoughts.
Orlando steps in and says he’ll do the job J.J. won’t. He taps her body and gives her movement back.
Our cowboy Phillipe gives the last touch on her heart and now she’s a real zombie!
I feel like this entire segment was a build-a-girl. “Okay, now kiss the heart before you put it in, otherwise it won’t come to life~”
They note the name on the gravestone is hard to read. She tells them her name is….
The default name is Isabella Kirkland.
Okay, one, I am not going to play through a game with freaking Bella. Two, Kirkland’s is the name of a store I’m not too fond of unless I’m grabbing clearance stuff. It’s so overpriced!
Because I’m not creative at all when it comes to puns, her name is going to be Robin Zombie.
The men tell her they love her name. Orlando kisses her hand. Phillippe rains poetic nonsense and kisses her hand. J.J. says he questioned the king, but seeing her, she is indeed flawless.
When he mentions king, she realizes she was in a coffin, and that sleep she woke out of was the sleep of death.
Naturally, one is a bit freaked out by such a revelation.
The men tell her to calm herself, and Orlando says she is now in Niflheim, the realm of the dead. The king of Niflheim has chosen her to become the princess. But they’re not explaining anything else. J.J. is rambling baout how to phrase what he did, and Orlando tells him to shut up because they’re having an important discussion with the princess. J.J. rambles a bit more and says bitch my discussion is more important, you stfu.
I mean, not exactly like that, but I got the subtext. Orlando, stfu
Orlando is still on his high horse and says “The only reason you’re here at all is because you were needed to awaken the princess.”
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
Was that supposed to be an insult because…. errr……
Exactly why are you here, Orlando? It sounds like none of this would happen without J.J.. You didn’t even get to be the one that kissed her heart before she became a real bear zombie!
CHOICE TIME
This is going to be a problem. What do I do?
A. Stop them.
B. Fret.
You know what, Robin, you are a strong independent zombie girl, you don’t need no cirque du soleil rejects. They already told you that you’re a princess; you’re gonna go to your castle, get you some new threads, then go get yourself your own damn prince. Maybe one of those vampires, or werewolves, maybe even a devil or something grotesque, no judge. Go against your dad and get one of them angel boys, either way you don’t need that negativity in your life!
//CHOICE A HAS BEEN PRESSED//
She tells them to stop fighting. Phillipe cuts in and says “Can’t you see you’re making the princess frown?”
Orlando says he’s sorry but he doesnt’ look it. Oh, he’s one of those guys.
//crosses Orlando off the list of guys to play//
Orlando tells her that she’s been dead a thousand years and the current king is in love with her and wants to make her his queen.
Meanwhile Robin’s like, ‘I’ve been dead a thousand years!?’
The men convince her that being awoken and being a queen is a good thing, and she starts to agree with them. She asks about the King and who he is.
Orlando and Phillippe get all shady and give these vague answers. J.J. hits us with the real talk and says the King isn’t what they’re saying he is. Orlando starts hurling insults again and they argue. Philippe says it happens all the time and Orlando changes beats and says he brought her clothes to change into. Phillipe notes, “Fashion in Niflheim is nothing like the realm of the living.”
I wish I had a better joke for this line but I don’t.
It takes you to a dress up screen and you pick the items you like. There’s only two options for now.
Robin Zombie in all her glory.
In the game, however, she is a black body with clothes.
They tell her they’re going to escort her to the castle and the first part of the prologue ends.
As soon as Robin steps out of the burial chamber, she bumps into this transparency setting 70% guy.
He just rambles about how she can see him. The other guys don’t see him. She goes into the carriage, end of scene.
Now we meet this guy! Actually I’ve met him before. Asshole still looks the same as he did in high school. The nerve of him!
Look at those cheekbones. I know he had work done.
His name is Skeletiano Bones. He is awesome and meta.
He tells her he once had flesh, but he lost a lot of weight. Lying through his perfect canines, I see. I knew all 206 parts of him, he can’t lie to me.
And now our second choice! How to react to the magnificent Skeletiano?
A. Touch him
B. Look for some food
Bones feel like bones. I mean, there’s nothing really special about them. But food is food. I love food. Robin just woke up from a 1000 year nap. I’d be hungry.
Let’s see what those underworld people chow on.
//Choice B pressed//
Uhhh that went in a different direction. She tells Skeletiano he’s a skinny bitch and he needs a sandwich.
Orlando tells her it’s a waste of time.
Skeletiano says when he eats it falls right off his bones. But as an upside, cats love him
How can you not love this guy? Best guy right here calling it. 
Robin agrees, she says, “That’s amazing..!!”
So now they’re on the carriage which is a birdcage with dead birds driving it or something, whatevers.
They’re at the castle and we meet Victor on the red carpet. She’s a little awed by his handsome face. Meh, I’ve seen better. Did you see the bone structure on Skeletiano? I’m telling you, unf.
Look, bub, Phillipe is the sugar-worded one here. I look lovely? That’s it? BORING.
//scratches Victor off potentials//
This idiot makes Robin act like a lovefool and Orlando gets all jealous, calling him a lowly creature. And hey, we found our common point. Let’s unite in our hatred of this basic bitch.
Orlando hurls more insults and Victor says to come with him because he’s better than those three louts.
Choice time!
A. They’re all gentlemen
B. What three louts?
One is straightforward, the other is a little sassy, like baby sass. Level one sass. Let’s pick that one.
//Choice B pressed//
Victor starts to backpeddle and they’re interrupted by this chick.
okay, moreso than anything I’ve seen…what in the hell is she wearing
Nevermind I love her she is my bff except she likes Victor so now I’m gonna have to be complaining to her about how horrible her man is all the time
and I am out of tickets, see you tomorrow!
