✦ AI summary

Players praise this short visual novel for its atmospheric presentation, engaging character-driven storytelling, and meaningful choices that feel consequential. The artwork, sound design, and mystery-focused narrative kept players invested despite the brief runtime of around 30 minutes, with the ambiguous unresolved ending fitting the developer's signature style. However, some note the brevity and lack of narrative variation between endings, plus the central mystery remaining frustratingly unsubstantiated, which works better for some players' preferences for speculation than others.

Vainsane always finds some original ideas for a visual novel, even if they are pretty short, this one about 30 minutes or so. There are 3 endings with no narrative changes in the middle as usually, two of them were rather similar with no ending panels (again). Mota reunites with his 2 good friends, but they conspire to get their revenge as they suspect that he killed their sister or love interest. Being faithful to the brand, the story is not truly resolved regardless of which ending you get, as far as I can tell the main "mystery" of the game is not contextually supported with evidence, and is left for the player to speculate on. I noticed this pattern with this developer, he loves going for ambiguous endings, which you know, sometimes leaving the mystery unresolved can be a good thing, or maybe not. The writing was a little better than some of the previous games, not nearly as confusing, you pretty much stuck with these 3 characters so luckily the dev did not go off the rails again. I enjoyed the aesthetic as usually, the first half of the game had some nice motion in the backgrounds and enough panel variety. That said, the second half of the game (the interrogation) takes plac…

While I was lately beginning to worry that the quality of this studio's games may be at risk of decline, considering the tight schedule of releases, I'm pleased to say that this VN reached some nice highs, feeling closer to their earlier works! This story is less abstract and more character-oriented, with a vague premise, an intriguing cast and the plot consisting of slowly piecing together the gist of the backstory - all accompanied by the familiar unsettling ambience and surreal immersive visuals and soundtrack. I enjoyed the story; most of the plot takes place in one setting, however is quite well-written and kept me invested to find out all it has to offer. As expected, It's a pretty solid short experience, with the main charm being the atmosphere and overall presentation! I just miss the larger amount of variety in the visuals from the early games now lol (T^T)

A game where you choose and decide the fate of Mota, it had enough weight in the options to genuinely make me stop and consider what to choose. A really solid game with pretty cool visuals that I don't recall seeing in this Studios previous games. The story was very well written with small details being released as you continue to play the game. Characters had really interesting personalities and the contrast between each character made for some interesting dialogue and reveals. Overall I give this game a 8.5/10 because of how good the value is given the affordable price tag.

All this developer's game are good. I like Make Moku Proud but I love all of this developer's games. Pros 1. Handsome yandere-type guys, I love their pale faces and red eyes and black hair it's an aesthetic 2. Good art and sounds and animation 3. Interesting Mystery - 2 Endings I got didn't try for the third one 4. Good writing and story Cons 1. Short but not as short as the one about Moku although that was amazing 2. Little scary but not reason to be scared 3. It's realistic in that.....wow...it's just plain sad....in the end
