Mutual Harrow

Due to being familiar with the studio's previous works, I basically knew what to expect when going into this, and I certainly enjoyed it! As always, the visual presentation offers a memorable surreal experience, supported by animated art and a variety in the style. The music is atmospheric and stabilizes the uncanny ambience very well! Regarding the story, I must say I found the plot to be the least confusing and most straight-forward out of the existing games from this studio. I quite liked how the storytelling got handled with starting off leaving the player in the dark about what's happening and gradually providing more information despite maintaining a mystery until the end. As always, the introspective narration was well done and basing the endings on internal choices of the characters was an interesting decision. Altogether, I found this to be a solid short VN, which slightly suffers from its brevity but is successful at what it wants to convey in an entertaining way!

About the same as the last 3 visual novels from the developer, good for the price, but the writing has some room for improvement, probably a combination of translation and bloated storytelling. The games from the developer usually have nice animated backgrounds, and while the narrative generally has a cool concept, the story has a tendency to reference events that are not within the context, sometimes feeling like there is too much useless information. Takes about 1 hour with multiple endings, although you don't get like actual location forks, just the ending panels. To be fair, It was easier to follow the story this time because you only focusing on 2 characters and whatever happened to them in the past. Most of the choices in the game are based on their mutual trust as both characters have their secrets. Pretty much the entire game is just them walking to a 'location' and arguing the whole way. Something I didn't really like is that like 80% of the dialogue is referencing 2 characters that are relevant to story, but you don't really care for them because they are background characters from the past. As usually the atmosphere and the ambiance were the best part of the game, for …

Another VAINSANE VN with the now trademark graphical style that invokes a very eerie and haunting sensation, along with a moody soundtrack and... honestly? Dialogue and story I can't really wrap my head around. It still fascinates me. As with their past titles, the engine this uses causes so many problems with my computer. Which is kind of insane for a visual novel. Not sure why it does this. The other games I was able to complete at least one ending, but with this one, I made it to the cross roads and was able to save but now I just get driver timeouts every time I try to reload the save from there. Sad. I wanted to see the end of the story. :(

It's so relatable it hurts XD A truly beautiful game 1000/10 im crying. Thankyou for making this stab in the heart, short and painful.. gorgeously relatable visual novel <3

exactly as it says on the tin/bag. short psychological horror vn. (i personally really liked this story and seeing each ending. out of all this studio's games so far (up to Mota Must Die) this story is my personal fave since i'm more biased to "romantic" stories lol)

it's okay, too much about the parents and not focusing on the now
