My goodness what a game! I remember stumbling onto this game and putting it onto my list because why not, I was not expecting to be on the edge of my seat in the second act and being so immersed! I love the characters and the premise of the story. What I thought was just a regular romance visual goes to including some horror out of nowhere for myself was a u turn and awesome what the heck moment for myself! I highly recommend this and hope the developer continues to make more!

Had a great time. Did not end up on route I was aiming for at first, or even the second option, but the story was still very sweet. Add to that the fact that different routes embody very different genres and you get lot of replayability. Will definitely come back later to check other paths.

Made it halfway through the game-hoping to finish it soon, fingers crossed. Early verdict? This thing is straight fire, no cap. Mainly ‘cause of writing and how insanely well characters are done. Now let me break it down: Characters. I’m obsessed. These folks keep surprising you in best ways. Zero stereotypes here-everyone's got their own quirks or hidden layers (in a good way). It’s actually fun just interacting with them, and sometimes you’re low-key hyped just waiting for them to show up again. There’s even this tiny sense of tension or excitement when they’re on screen, and weirdly, it’s super satisfying. They don’t feel copy-pasted or like they’re trying to mimic other stuff. Each one’s got their own unique vibe, fr. Art Style. It slaps. Some people might say there aren’t enough variations for character sprites, but honestly? It’s more than enough 4 me. Quality-wise, it’s a solid 9/10. Backgrounds. Also top-tier. Great atmosphere, super clean, and they really pull you into world. Story/Writing. Yo, this is on another lvl. It's not your typical Japanese VN, and definitely not some random anime parody. It’s a whole different beast - and that’s a good thing. Story strikes t…

Funny, captivating and most of all ICONIC. A breath of fresh air in the current over-saturated market of visual novels. The game has something for everybody. The multi-layered story keeps me coming back. The characters, not only archetypal representations of our age, but also the shadows underlying it. The author blends various pop-culture and old-school references within the narrative making the gameplay highly rewarding. Very original style.
