Brilliant and graphic. I also like how much strategy is involved in order to achieve different outcomes.

Sept. 2024

Originally, I was planning on giving it a reluctant positive review, or nothing. But then I thought more about the story it told.. and you know what... It's a damn good story, and I think it deserves more positive ratings than it has now Of course, "very positive" is by no means a bad rating, I just wish to make it clear that, yeah, the execution isn't perfect, like DDLC's was. Since comparing this game to DDLC seems to be the meta lol But, in my opinion, anyway, the actual story of this game is just as good as DDLC's. I'd go as far as to say better, but they're truly about different things and themes, so what's the point in comparing them? It's thought provoking, and the depth of the story will probably grow on you for awhile after experiencing it That being said One negative thing about it, is the gameplay really doesn't need to be there. It's clearly there just to give the illusion that you're playing a dating game, and it does ok at that, it makes you use your brain, and allocate it to tasks other than trying to predict what will happen next So, it does it's job But it doesn't need to be as tedious as it is, I don't think. Not the worst thing in the world, but the pacing for it is slightly off, and your stats will not necessarily impact the story in the ways you'd expect it would. That system is just there to keep you paying attention and actually engaging with the game

I absolutely LOVED that this was a management stat sim integrated in a visual novel. The characters were pretty sweet and the game made me unsettled a lot. Most unique protagonist reaction to death I have ever seen, and horror is my favorite genre. Ending disappointed me hardly and had me thinking on the game for a while. Bittersweet, I just wish the plot twist wasn't there. Also Rei is BEST girl by far.... Dang I wish there was a sequel ;-;

The ending-- that's just plain mean. The good ending-- that's more messed up than the bad ending! So why the thumbs up? Because the key to good horror is to make it realistic and in this century, some aspects learned in the ending might be possible. I don't want to be around to see the backlash of what said person subjected to it will unleash. Don't know what I'm talking about? Then read the VN and find out.

April 2024

really liked the game, most of the twists was predictible but still fun, and even the quite days was enjoyable, the only problem I have with the game was the ending, it felt like a lazy excuse to end the game and none of the endings felt like the "good ending" or even the "real ending"
