March 2025

First of all, I can’t believe I actually: [*]Paid for this [*]Installed this [*]Played this [*]Finished this [*]Loved this (important) Against all odds with multiple unbelievable aspects, this VN had everything to be just another one damn scuffed project out there. But it wasn't. It’s genuinely fun. Creative. Unique. Cringe (in a good way). Fulfilling. Hot (?). This was definitely a nice surprise. I loved that they managed to do something linear while still going for a dating-sim approach, it really adds up to the narrative. Bravo.

The trailer and concept got a chuckle out of me and being a long time fan of visual novels (though I haven't played one in a very long time) they got my money, though I wasn't expecting much. So pleasantly surprised. First and foremost, the voice acting in this game really sells it and is my favorite thing about it. The actresses elevate it to a whole different level than the writing alone would have been able to achieve, though that was also enjoyable. The mixture of humor/horror/cuteness is downright masterful and frankly sets it apart from anything I have ever seen. I wish it were longer (though I wouldn't say it's too short for the cost) and will definitely be checking out what else this developer has to offer. My criticisms are relatively minor. The spellcasting mechanic, dragging the mouse across the words while holding left-click, often seems too sensitive or jittery. This is a problem because if you don't maintain a precise speed and pace, the spell is botched and you have to do it again, or at certain parts you can even be immediately killed because of it, requiring a load to an earlier checkpoint. It can be pretty frustrating but it's possible I could have mitigated this by adjusting my mouse settings (never tried, just bullied through it). Might be worth trying if you have similar frustrations. I also would have liked to be able to back up conversations or be able to view what has already be said in a log (a common feature in visual novels). Those are really the only things I can think to complain about and when compared to how great the rest of the game is, negligible. I'm going to have that incredible end credit song stuck in my head for WEEKS! EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's kinda graphic and dark at times (the game gives a warning about this content upfront). I wouldn't say it's anything crazy or gratuitous but if that kind of content is generally disturbing to you, maybe not for you.

When faced with the absurdity of the uncaring nothingness of a universe utterly ambivalent to our human existence, the absolute worthlessness of humanity on a cosmic scale, bro said "would"

Cosmic Horror, But Make It Sexy This game made me feel things I wasn’t emotionally or cosmically prepared for. The art? Gorgeous. The voice acting? Uncomfortably good. The plot? Well, let’s just say it’s not if you’ll die horribly, but how much you’ll enjoy it when it happens. This is peak "horny on main" energy for anyone who’s ever looked at an elder god and thought, "Yeah, I could fix her." Turns out, you can’t. But at least you’ll die trying, and maybe get a smooch out of it.

Aug. 2024

It's glitchy, short, rough around the edges and the puzzles can never find that place between simple and frustrating. And yet... The writing is goofy, the voice acting is fun, and the protagonist is... well... "too stupid to live, too horny to die" is an underrated trope. Well worth the time, needs you to meet it halfway, snag it when its on sale.
