To begin with i believe the dev team really outdone themselves yet again. This VN as a whole feels like a passion project but in comparison to Snoot it lacks something. They clearly upped the quality of product with addition of animations, variety of CG and music not to mention all the characters are of their own design and nothing is 'borrowed'. Nonetheless it seems as due to their focus on the mentioned beforehand aspects the writing lacks refinement.

First and foremost some characters and subplots lack closure in comparison to Snoot, feels like they are left out for the sake of main character. I still believe we might get extras in the future but for now there are few holes to fill. Next big one is that overall drama/tense moments were created on spot and for me are kinda cliché. The last factor might be only a my perspective/taste thing but i don't know why but the game didn't engage me emotionally as much as their other VN. Besides E4 and kinda E1 the rest lacks the deeper thought some moral or a theme to it. Anyway with E4 animation they clearly outdone themselves and it made me feels things.

On the other note what i love about this game besides quality is the style of writing. In comparison to Snoot it doesn't feel edgy and "4chany". It was a good thing they didn't include the same type of humor or at least it was more tame this time. It wasn't outright bad there but rather unnecessary and a bit immersion breaking for me at least and here it wasn't the case. The other strong point is how original and developed Olivia and Inco characters they feel full and lively and thus why they outshine other characters by a lot.

Anyway I wholeheartedly adore this VN and overall it was a positive experience. Can't wait to see further input from the developers as they clearly have brilliant ideas to show in future games they will make.
