Start out amazing. Really emotional story, endearing characters and it constantly keeps you on your toes. then gets to the last act and manages to fumble the landing entirely. By the last act I was just praying for the game to end. I didn't care any more there was no thrilling climax more of a pathetic sputter.

Main gripes

The story sets up certain things to be true but then back tracks what you thought was well established and deus ex machinas the ♥♥♥♥ out of you. Don't want to spoil the story but every one who has beat the game can readily attest to this

The game makes it seem like you have to take guesses to gather information to loop back and use said information similarly to a GREAT game like zero time. But naw in reality this is a pure visual novel with NO choices. The story is completely linear. It presents you with many branching paths but trust me those are a lie

But the biggest issue for me is who this game kinda just wastes your time. If you want a compelling story you will get one with raging loop but TRUST ME you will not be satisfied with this game. You will be begging for it to end before it is over. You will be rolling your eyes and the various "reveals" towards the end of the game. The story out right lies to you.

Please just avoid this game and save yourself the heartache. It was really really good until it got really really bad.

the best introduction to visual novels i ever did have

it went from super good to legendary to ass but i still liked it
