I honestly don't know where to begin.

It's not a perfect story. It has a couple of headscratchers and some really glaring holes in logic, mostly ones that involve your ability to inspect things. Uchikoshi kinda expects the player to know Zero Escape trilogy prior to this and the game feels like a bit more polished and slightly less serious version of Zero Time Dilemma (or at least more self-aware)

But the bits that shine really do shine. The great parts of the story are just stunningly great. Ota's route and the good ending had me bawl my eyes out. The characters are all memorable and the music is wonderful, you would think Shinji Hosoe is back for that game, but nope. It's Keisuke Ito of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Yakuza 3 and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night fame.

I think this VN made my life better and was a small step towards helping with depression.
