This tale began five years earlier, in the spring of 2231. Mankind has evolved a new kind of communication ability called “telepathy”. Yotsuba notices a young girl who does not use telepathy in his first term. In the days that follow, she remains closed off.
One day in the yard at his home, Yotsuba finds a Phillips-head screwdriver. He traces its origin to a nearby abandoned manor, and enters. Inside, he finds something…
The thing that humanity has denied.
The thing that memory has forgotten.

This is a novel game to look over "myself"

This work is incredible difficult to fully comprehend and I won't claim I understand everything I saw and read, so please do forgive me if the review is a bit odd. An exploration of philosophy of both reality beyond humanity, as well as a deep-dive into both the value and meaning of inter-personal relationships. What it means to be fulfilled, and to fulfill others. When does something gain value and when does it gain meaning? If something makes you happy but ends on a bad note, was it worth it or not? Reading this VN will toy with your emotions a lot, it may not be for everyone on that aspect as well as its prose which will confuse you. As such it takes a toll on both your brain and heart, but I do sincerely believe it is worth reading if anything here sounds appealing to you.1 found this helpful
goodbye
some of the most memorable aesthetics and constructions I've seen in a visual novel; delightfully abrasive at times, grating and repetitive writing at other times, all in all easy to recommend with only a few caveats
I really really love this game. The science fiction part seems a little bit nonsense, but i really like the radio-wave feeling. Also the music and art attract me a lot. No need to hesitate paying for the soundtrack, it worth. Some may say they don't like the true end, but it's acceptable for me. Below is my point of view. [spoiler] Yotsuba truly didn't love Haru Shion or Shion, even his love for Haru was fake. It's more like he was in love with a projection of someone who is always for him. After all, Haru is in a babylike state, Yotsuba almost can take full control of her. The most import thing for Yotsuba is to be saved, and this is accomplished in the other 2 line, either to accept the Yotsuba forgotten or to forget the past self and move on to appreciate 'now'. Basically, you cannot love other when you can't love your self. Life is long, romance is just an unimportant little part.[/spoiler] So Yotsuba-kun, forgive yourself, accept yourself and love yourself. Life may seem better to you!
This VN is... truly one of a kind. It's one of those that won't leave your memories. I read the R18 version circa 2020 first, re-read this one recently. Well thought out sci-fi scenario, you can obviously tell that the writer is mathematically minded, which you don't see a whole lot in VNs. Don't worry, it doesn't get pretentious like anime tend to. Graphics are good, music is very good. Honestly, I would say the overall production value is on the higher end of what you would expect from an indie studio. Except for the OST, that's even better. Easy recommendation if you like a tragic love story and wrapping your head around a good (if at times a bit difficult) sci-fi.
Very interestingly written sci-fi story! Havent experienced lots of things that are similar to this. Gem of a VN!
