Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue

This visual novel is split into two parts: - -> A common route (up until around day 55 or so) -> Four different main routes (one route has three slightly different ending) On paper, this structure sounds promising, but in practice, all of them feel equally unsatisfying. Worse, they often read as if the author is actively condemning the player for making any kind of choice at all. If you pursue a romantic relationship with a crew member, the protagonist suddenly undergoes a jarring character shift, transforming into someone you no longer recognize or control. Was there any foreshadowing for this drastic change? Did any of your previous choices hint at such a development? Absolutely not. It comes out of nowhere, leaving a bitter taste no matter who you choose to romance. To make matters worse, the post-credit scene feels like a slap in the face—almost as if the author is mocking or punishing you for daring to pursue a heterosexual relationship with a crewmate. If you lean into the detective angle, hoping to unravel the murder mystery, the game instead paints you as an incompetent fool plagued with trust issues. To be fair, some of those trust issue…

No. Just no.

This game would be fine if it had better writing and story and characters and routes and ways to access routes and ran better and wasn't ♥♥♥♥ and didn't cost $73 AUD.

personally I'm having a lot of fun despite this being objectively terrible, but I'm also the same kind of person to eat cold ravioli out of a can and enjoy it. so clearly my taste is questionable at best. don't buy this unless you like really, REALLY bad visual novels that just drop you in the game and don't tell you other routes exist much less how to get them [I had to look up a guide to get the ending I wanted cuz I screwed up twice==]. also wait for it to go on sale this is not worth 50 bucks--

The game was interesting and entertaining despite having no good story, no compelling choices, no character personality consistency, and an unjustifiable pricetag.
