Disappointing that all the translation and procedural issues have been retained. Surprisingly, the story is much better than in the previous episode. However, so much information pops up during the climax that it becomes dizzying.

9-nine has become one of my favorite VN series, and Episode 4 really sealed the deal. To me, it felt like the perfect conclusion to a long buildup. It was incredibly satisfying after how widely I spaced out my reading... Episode 4 really takes 9-nine to the next level, in form and layout. Noa felt like the perfect heroine to end on as well. While I prefer Haruka, the Noa gap moe is just too strong! I was pleasantly suprised to see a fresh, new remix on how 9-nine games typically work. This episode has the best fights, the most hype moments, and arguably the best romance as well. It really was the ideal final part to a game... I never have too much to write for 9-nine games, since they are rather short, but I will say that the insert and the few new tracks are amazing. As for OP and ED, Dear My Waker and Be Braver! Are the best in the series for sure. (Save for maybe the Sora ED) Just incredibly hype tracks and an ending that makes you feel like laying in a field of sunflowers. I must say that I was incredibly impressed and feel complete. 9-nine is AWESOME and I can't wait to read Criminal Border from the same author.

Review is being written after reading Episodes 1-4, so no New Episode yet. This will also be extremely short so I don't go into spoiler territory too badly. This is the best 9-nine- episode so far and - for the most part - answers the questions and wraps things up in an acceptable manner. However, due to the nature of the story itself regarding alternate worlds / time travel / time loops as well as power levels becoming unreasonable, depending on your ability to suspend your disbelief and / or your personal feelings regarding those types of stories this could end up being a bit disappointing. Personally I am mostly fine with the former, but the latter tends to leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. It tends to lead to a villain that no matter how it ends it is going to be a bit disappointing. Positively, the characters are lovable and entertaining each in their own ways. This time (as opposed to Episode 3) it didn't feel as disjointed between the moe parts and the plot parts. Production values were pretty high, good OST / OP / ED songs, standard systems, 3 animated H-scenes in this title. With all that said, I'd recommend this series to any VN reader who enjoys a decent plotge / moege mashup.

BE WARNED: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS BLOOD/GORE THE PEAK OF ACTION VISUAL NOVELS This episode is very interactive: you have to take control in a lot of situations. Which also means it'll be easier to "feel" emotions and they are INTENSE. Bbe prepared to be traumatized in both good and bad way. What was added (significant): -Noa's extra cute portraits -More BGM -OVERLOAD There's a part of a story that I feel like it's executed too slow, but other than that it is AMAZING. Also, as you progressed, you will be really attached to Noa no matter what.
