A strange VN. It felt like it had all of the elements necessary to tell a really compelling story, and decided to do something else instead. Overall, the story left me wanting more exploration of topics it raised. Instead it hand waves them away for the sake of more horniness. It's a shame that this is on Steam and not Amatsutsumi which is a far better story in the same world.

great plot

One of the few stories where every character in the game is likeable I love the characters in this game, the voice acting, personality, designs, they're all amazing. These characters have become some of my favourite characters in fiction through this games use of character development and even amazing comedy. I could go on for longer about the ost and art but i wont Mary Harker: I don't think anyone could dislike a route where you get to do cute things with a vampire girl. Despite this routes lovey-dovey theme to it, it still somehow manages to be incredibly plot heavy and have good twists throughout, especially since Mary is one of the best written characters in the game. Kurosaki Sayo: If you liked the cute atmosphere of Mary's route then you're going to be disappointed when you read this. I'm not going to spoil the story so all I'm going to say is, be prepared. This part is more of a personal thing on my end so I won't delve too far but I did enjoy Mary's route more than I did with Sayo's, not a big fan of goth girls I suppose though I do believe this route is better written and more emotional so for the average person you will probably like this route the most Akasabis' rou…

Let’s start with the elements that aren’t related to the writing. It has some amazing visuals and music. The composer and artist for this work should be commended for their efforts. This might be one of the prettiest VNs I’ve ever read, and the music is lovely (though a bit overblown at times when there needs to be a melodramatic scene). I also appreciated all the references and themes at least brought up in the text. There are in-depth discussions of “The Blue Bird”, Shakespeare, and other literary works about the meaning of the symbolism in them, why the plays work, and how themes like fate and magic affect the stories being told. There are discussions about the pros and cons of different types of endings. We actually see a play getting produced and then changed in real time as Mary, the scriptwriter, finds issues with it and changes it. Pretty cool stuff when it was done well. Sadly, though, it had very little to do with the actual routes and just filled up VN space/time most of the time. For that reason, I ended up having mixed feelings about the play sequences despite how intelligently written some of them were. H-scenes feature mostly big-boobed heroines ♥♥♥♥♥…

the ost, characters, and h scenes were great. the reveal and ending were absolute cinema. sayo's and akari's routes were especially well written and story's the parallel to The Blue Bird is meaningful. thank you purple software
