It’s unfathomably intellectually disabled to waste time making 'games' like that. It’s not actually a game; it’s a tool for political propaganda — a piece of junk on Steam, straight up. Other people don’t like it either; don’t even be surprised, tho.

- stories about the war, more than stories *against* the war (not explicitly at least) - the first two are good, the third is badly coded (too much space between words, like a poorly justified text) and confusing but okay (though it felt too long), the last one has nice colors and is also confusing but okay (and really short so it works) - if like me you're confused by the trailer and don't know what to expect: it's just a visual novel, nothing more and nothing less (Just because it was made by a Russian team doesn't make it propaganda)

R/A/W is an amazing visual novel! The story is captivating, and each chapter brings something new—funny moments, emotional twists, and suspense that keep you hooked. Chapter three’s branching endings make replaying the game super exciting. Definitely worth diving into!

its a free V/N, not really like typical visual novels...more like a short documentary? didn't really understand what the third short story had to do with the rest, but besides that thought that the second and first we're really well made and eye opening to wartime.
