Iris Over The Rainbow

Editorial Has potential

Iris Over The Rainbow is an early-stage Pokémon fan game with a clear creative vision and solid writing in its character interactions, but it's held back by significant technical rough edges. Music loops cut off abruptly, performance tanks when multiple 3D models load on screen, and at least one crash has been reported; the developer is aware of these issues and working on them, but they impact playability right now. The core writing shows promise—particularly in scenes with characters like Olivia—though some players felt the protagonist's voice needed more distinct personality early on. Combat lacks meaningful stakes in the opening sections, though the developer notes this will change as the game progresses. This is clearly work-in-progress territory: polish the build before expecting a strong recommendation, but the foundation suggests something worth revisiting once the performance and audio bugs are fixed.
