It should go without being said but this is a horror game!! There are many repulsive elements! If you are very sensitive to topics that involve human beings doing awful things to each other then please exert caution here. If you are secure in yourself and benefit from media with discussions/depictions of various kinds of trauma, then this may be the VN for you. I found the writing compelling; ryukishi07 is a master at using narrative metaphor (even if sometimes he beats you over the head with it over and over) and the characters all have both sympathetic and irritating sides to them that makes them feel human. The art is sometimes grotesque and occasionally beautiful, but regardless was done with care and knowledge of the craft. It all feels very well-polished. The total time for 100% completion wasn't too long. If you enjoy voice acting, just set it to auto and let it run on its own. If you are into choice-informed VNs, BZZT, sorry, this is a single-route story you follow along with. There's only one choice point and it doesn't change anything. I haven't played the DLC route yet but I plan to buy it based on the good experience of the base game.
It baffles me that this game has mixed reviews, as it's one of my favourite visual novels and the only one that has really made me cry. Whoever is reading this and is on the fence about buying due to reviews, please give this a shot. I felt connected deeply to the characters as the cast showcases well the negative experiences of living as a female, making me feel true horror, sadness and fear playing this. They represent trauma in an amazing way, and show the true dark side to mankind and how it affects the main characters.
