I'll be totally and completely honest--I am not a point and click girlie, and as advertised on the tin, this is HELLA pointy clicky. however! the artwork is beautiful and the storyline is surprisingly sort of sweet (at least, as far as i've gotten. i've made it down two paths but keep wiping/restarting/wiping/restarting because of my dreaded enemies, mr. point and mrs. click). i hope to one day make my way to the ending, especially because I have a sneaking suspicion that [spoiler] the guide is the true, secret romance [/spoiler]. one day i will point and click my way into his arms. one day. anyway. 85% of vn fans will enjoy this. only avoid if you're like me and--you guessed it-- hate point and clicks.

This game has weak writing, insufficient character development, a bad interface, and too little scope. Though I admit the epilogue was interesting. So why did I play the whole thing? Well, I'm a sucker for afterlife games, and the demo seemed promising - it turned out that it had already introduced most of the characters and locations, though.

its okay

there's a lot of lagging in this game.

wherein recently-dead, hapless b movie actress astrid becomes a therapist to her fellow ghosties and is promptly caught in the machinations of two (2) immortal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (48237958274982374 dead 3489276892479826598247324 injured) (likely with more to come in future installments...) in my personal opinion the 3 default routes needed more meat on their bones, and to be blunt the "thou [i]Mufte[/i] forgive in order to move on" trope featuring in locke's story is one of my least favorite things ever lmao i think it's a really unhealthy message to push....................... HOWEVER the visual presentation, audio direction, system elements etc are all extremely strong, and the writing shows a great deal of improvement in the secret route. i definitely plan to peek in on this team's future releases--both because i want the Scoop on the drama between bleach boy and madam theorem and because these devs show a lot of promise!
