This is an ever-so-slightly better-than-average visual novel. It has a few CGs, and decent sprites, but relies a lot on stage directions to demonstrate physical changes. The plot is quite similar to a movie called [spoiler]"Your Name."[/spoiler] in the sense that [spoiler]two people who are seemingly bound by fate discover feelings towards one another, but it's only when they follow through with the loop, or "paradox," that they can see the situation for what it is and accept everything's hopeless.[/spoiler] This is revealed about mid-way through the story in Fuyu's thought bubble shortly before [spoiler]her death.[/spoiler] Eventhough there are dialect choices, there are no other outcomes. There isn't an ending screen either, which is a nice touch in a way, but kind of annoying because it gives false hope something else might happen in a second playthrough.1 found this helpful
(real playtime 103 minutes, until steam suddenly reset it while writing the review) Longer than it needs to be and repetitive (although maybe that's just because the characters bored me and their relationships felt shallow - if you like them and the plot, you might enjoy it). Rather than "Your name" it reminded me of [spoiler]Kagerou Days[/spoiler] (the song, not the whole project) with an added science plot and a hammered-on ending that comes out of nowhere and adds stakes we never imagined before. It's like it's trying to tackle too many things at once, fate, science, morality, and messes up the pacing in the process. I can easily imagine it being better though! It [i]isn't[/i], but with a rewrite or two it could be. So I don't recommend it, no part of it is worth the time in my opinion, but I wouldn't be too surprised if someone else enjoyed it.
