About Departed Away

"How hard can it be to make friends?" That's what I thought when I first stepped into my new school. Little did I know, my first day would become a nightmare. I screwed up, and suddenly everyone started pointing fingers at me, blaming me for something I didn't do. I'm innocent but I can't get anybody to believe me! It's like I stumbled into a place filled with secrets and lunatics. I despise this place, and other schools aren't much different. It seems all I can do at this point is just try and survive...
Hmm... It's kind of hard to explain all the details, but basically I ended up having to go to a new school. It wasn't by choice, my parents practically forced me into it. With a workaholic mother and a creepy father—my family is far from ordinary. But let's not get sidetracked. In this school, all I wanted was to make a few friends, but... Well, you know how that turned out. Did you manage to contact my lawyer yet? I have a feeling I'm going to need one.
Oh, Beatrice, what an absolute stunner! It's like I've never laid eyes on such breathtaking beauty before. And then there's Hitomi, the quiet, nerdy girl. She might be a nerd but she has her own charm. Now, Marcel, she's a total puzzle. One look is enough to ignite a fire within your heart. Her talent, too, is something else, although it pales in comparison to Veronica's. She's on a whole another level. An artist able to master anything through sheer dedication and hard work... But, my goodness, there's something about each of them that's utterly bewildering... They're all insane!

[h1]I wonder when the silksong is coming out... Can't wait to get home and play some games...[/h1] What I like in this VN? The art is very charming, yes the hands are a bit crusty but over all its all pretty great as far as the characters go. What I dislike in this VN? Spoilers ahead, read this review at your own risk. The game simply isn't finished. Even if the author did update it I'm convinced it would still be a let down. That's fine for a 5 dollar visual novel, but I'm going to critique it anyways. [spoiler] I liked the idea, but its been a while since I have played a visual novel that has disappointed me this much. The story centers around a boy, who I named Reader-kun affectionately, his other personality that may or may not exist, some hints at an abusive father, and the struggle of... well... nothing? I liked the idea, but the story goes no where, and half the ""routes"" in double quotes give no context what-so-ever, the ones that do add context to the story do so in a way that actually doesn't help it in any way either. I saw the twist on my first playthrough before I even hit the halfway mark. The routes that do exist are not written well and practically may…

As many others, I found this game REALLY disappointing and if I could go back, I wouldn't have bought this in the first place. Hope this money helps the author get better at...well...almost everything, I guess. First of all, almost everyone here praises the art and I'm proud of ANY artist that puts their soul in it, but we have to be honest here: ever heard of body proportions? And I'm not referring to the girls' "interesting" features (yes, they're all sexualized for no reason, even the protagonist's mother, the female teacher is straight up obscene and I don't even understand why she exists in the first place, she doesn't do anything at all); from the characters' sprites to the background people or any other background element, everything just seems to be the wrong size. Even the color palette seems kind of random sometimes, it's a real shame because I'm fairly sure the author made their best effort and I want to think they'll get better with time and practice, but right now I can't say I'm satisfied. Next is the story: cliché and predictable, as someone else mentioned before me. There are a bunch of subplots that don't go anywhere, they feel so random and don't add anything to t…
