Lunar maiden, River-side Angel, and the Godlike moment

The translation is absolutely awful. Needs so much editing to make it palatable. It's a serious pain to try to read. And it's marked as an otome but clearly there's a heavy emphasis on fan-service for men, and objectifying the main character, so that's odd. It's clearly very far and away from Otome. By all means give the character a big chest, but the proportions are ridiculous, and so are the self-thoughts she has about her body that are so shallow and "male ideal of a girl-failure"-fetishized it's not funny.

oh. my god. this visual novel was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RIDE, albeit a shory one. I went into this not knowing anything about it besides from it being an otome (dating sim type)/eroge between a jirai girl and a serial killer guy, but it is so much more than that. actually I wouldn't even call it either an otome or an eroge. this is a full on utsuge (a game made to depress). the game is about a mentally ill (schizophrenic) girl, hidari, who lives on her own. she relies entirely upon government and familial support, and has no real hobbies or meaningful relationships. that is, until, one night during one of her episodes in which she became extremely disoriented and lost her way home, she met a strange man in a park, migi. she was compelled to explain her bizarre situation to the man, and unexpectedly, he excepted it and offered to help her (after stealing some of her food lol). they two of them quickly grow closer, both coming to the conclusion that they are the only ones who have ever, and perhaps ever could, understand eachother. their relationship is sweet, and though abnormal, I think it was good for the both of them. I will not go into any more detail of the plot for the sake of spoilers. …

Got to read this VN after "Princess Paradise" from the same developer, and actually I liked it even more. It is definitely heavier and darker, but GOD I LOVED IT. Even though I don't have the same mental illness as Hidari does, I felt like we are quite the same in our depressed worldview and thoughts towards other people. Also in how we see ourselves. In short, I kin her a lot. ALso I wish the VN could tell more about Migi but I get it that we shouldn't know a lot about him. Just the same as Hidari. Voice acting here is GORGEOUS, ans so is artstyle! It's beautiful. The only thing I didn't like in this VN is kind of subjective but I didn't understand a metaphor about keys...... I'm writing this review more as a message to the author rather than casual Steam review, and I wanna say huge THANK YOU for not giving up even thoug you thought nobody would like it, finishing this game and letting it see the world. My heart is in awe.

I expected something more Characters were dull Everything was dull Erotic scenes were dull

Hidari is me. I see myself in her. I love her VA. Story is also very good despite the rough translation. And Migi is... oh I love him he's my ideal type.

This game has a very poor translation, possibly machine translated, but I still highly recommend it. Hiding inside this indie otome is one of the most honest and realistic portrayal of psychosis and disability I've seen in fiction. Right has to navigate real experiences of being on disability in Japan. There are experiences in it I never expected to see in a visual novel.
