Wow, this has to be the best looking visual novel out there! And even if there are others with great art, this is one of the extremely few ones that actually has character and even background movement! The voice acting is top-notch as well!
Still, there are two things that I didn't quite like. First is the length, it's only ~4 hours long. However, the real issue is the way the story's being told - by going from present to the past, then to an even earlier past and so on, back and forth for like three quarters of the game! And the problem is, there's no real reason for it! It's really annoying, I was expecting some revelation that would explain the need for such storytelling, but it never came...
All that being said, it's still a really cute short game, and decently priced when considering the quality of both the visuals and the voice acting. And the best thing is, you can even try it out for yourself first, since they have a demo going on!

If you get it on sale, it's totally worth it. Cute lesbian waifus that also happen to be half-wolves? What more could you want?
Maybe voice acting, and maybe more images. To me, these and the fact that the game's quite short are the main reasons why I would advice against paying the full price for it. But if it's on sale, this makes for a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours, and you might even find some nice pictures to add to your collection *Kappa*

Looks decent enough, the voice acting is fine, but if you want to buy and play it in English, it's just not worth it. Despite not being impossible to understand, it's just incredibly poorly translated. And you know what else? Even if the translation was alright, the story's just not interesting either. Everything can be summed up in like 1 sentence - "Guy who cross-dresses meets a girl just as a typhoon reaches their place, so they have to spend the next days together in the apartment, where nothing happens, and they find out in the Epilogue that they had met before as kids."
If you still wanna give it a try, though, get it on a deep, deep sale, at 2 bucks, it's cheap enough that you won't regret spending your money on it more than your time.

A well written, nicely drawn visual novel (especially the mature patch scenes), with only one huge flow - the lack of voice acting. I suggest buying it on sale for that very reason, and that it's not all that long (if you take your time reading, I'd say it's @6 hours).
Oh, yeah, the achievements are easy to get as well.

It's such a nice, little game! Just make sure to save before engaging with the "gameplay" elements. Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have them, all it does it waste your time reloading the game until you get enough good rolls...
It's a bit short for the price, imo, so I'd recommend buying it on a sale. It's really good, and the story takes quite a few twists and turns!

A much shorter game than its prequel, and lacking a lot of what made the first game unique. It feels more like a traditional Action-RPG, and the PC port is bad, especially if you play it with a mouse and keyboard. I did not enjoy the combat because of it - having one button do more things is a restriction that makes sense on consoles, NOT on PC, but at least playing on the easiest difficulty made it bearable.
All that being said, the Mask progression is MUCH smoother, the additional commissions add some diversity to the game, and being able to go back to "dungeons" you've already finished any time you want was a great change!
It's a bummer that we don't get to spend as much time with individual characters, and even more so that anyone but the Phantom Thieves is left out of the game - no hot nurses and teachers, sadly :( What's also sad is that your choices don't carry over, naturally, so even if you got a girlfriend in the prequel, it won't matter :(
BUT the new characters they introduced are nice, and Sophia is just the cutest little A.I. !
It's a fun game IF you want to spend more time with the cast, but keep in mind that it's MUCH shorter, even doing all the side quests and grinding a bit won't get you more than 35-40 hours, so I recommend buying it on sale, since the asking price of 60 Euros seems a bit steep, especially when compared to the amount of content the prequel offers for the same price point.

Great voice acting, interesting visuals, decently priced. That's about the extent of my "positive" list.
The story's garbage, sadly, just a meta-meme hogwash with a boring "existential" theme that might've worked if the game was powered by an A.I., but that fails to matter since it's just a regular piece of software. You're not talking to "it", there's no freedom, it's just a classical, unchanging story that the devs created.
Not to mention another massive criticism that I have - the illusion of choice (dialogue options that either lead to a dead-end or to the same result), I just can't see that as quality writing, even in the context of a "meta"-X themed game. Oh, and the random plots that go nowhere, surely not added just to pad the time, no, sir.
All the pseudophilosophical mumbo jumbo clearly worked on most people, judging by the almost overwhelmingly positive rating, but again, it's just some vague ideas and big words mixed together. Alas, it accomplishes the same level of success as a toddler would if they were to try to replicate a Courbet.
But hey, if you have a couple bucks, there's worse ways to spend 'em.

Saw it on sale for 5 Euros, read the reviews AND I noticed that most of them had quite the playtime (20+ hours). And, yeah, if you do pick it up and enjoy it, you can easily sink 20+ hours into it!
Now, I'm not gonna comment much on the main story - let's just say it has its ups and downs.
Some of the side quests are really funny and the recurring characters make the world feel much more realistic.
The character customization isn't the best, but there are some hidden items that have really strong effects! I was expecting the same old "this item is better because it has higher stats", but that's actually not the case, since those effects make up for the potentially lower stats!
The combat does get a bit boring later on, and I just switched to easy because it wasn't as much challenging as it was boring to spend more time dealing with enemies that pose no real threat other than having very high HP pools.
It's also pretty amazing how they managed to create so many extremely elaborate puzzles in such an outdated game engine, even if I do feel like some of them could've done with being less cryptic.
Honestly, even the 18+ scenes (do yourself a favor and get the patch) are great, and even if I only finished one route, I gotta say the romance was pretty well done - it did feel like a well-earned reward for the MC when it happened!
And then there's the excellent voice acting - they even voice acted THOSE scenes :o I've played other VNs with 18+ patches before, and those never had it! At least, not in English, hehe.
All in all, a surprisingly fun game for anyone who likes this sort of amalgamation of genres!

Early Access Review
It's... not a great game. There's very little variety between runs, and the balance is horrible. However, if it gets developed a bit more, I can see it being worth buying in a year or so. So my thumbs up is mostly a "add to wishlist and check it out later".

Man, this is one difficult game! Pretty much like Katawa Shoujo, your choices aren't always clear, and you might end up on a route by mistake, because it seems that not all the choices are just as important, so depending on your luck, you might have to spend quite some time getting the ending you want.

+ Most writing is great and quite humorous
+ SS Voice Acting
+ Beautiful art
+ Plenty of endings

- some translation errors
- not enough of the beautiful art at times, a lot of repeated poses
- many false choices that lead to the same result
- some bad endings are a bit weird
- drastic and somewhat annoying shift in tone during the second half of the game, Think of it as watching a slice-of-life anime that after 6 episodes turns into, I dunno, a shonen anime. Even if you like shonen, that's not the reason you started watching it.

I got it on a -75% sale, and for 10 Euros, it's not a bad investment. However, despite the stellar voice acting, I can't recommend spending 40 of your hard-earned *insert currency here* on it.
