A fantastic visual novel. To summarize my feelings on the matter:

1) Excellent depictions of the mental illnesses present in the game and the way they can distort your view. This includes slight unreliable narration from the main character due to her delusions. This goes for most of the characters in the way that they act irrationally predictably so if you are familiar with how those mental illnesses present themselves.

2) The game is graphic and doesn't shy away from dark concepts so if that isn't to your tastes it may be wise to avoid, but for those that are fond of it and can understand somewhat more subtle nuance, it is near perfect. (I say near because some of the art doesn't match up to the descriptions quite right but its understandable given the content and context.)

3) As well, I see quite a few critiques on the writing being "Front-loaded" or that only the first act makes sense, however that is solely because the quirks of the characters come into full view during the next few arcs. Somewhat irrational decisions are made and things go somewhat haywire, but it is a rational follow through on the setup from the previous chapters with obvious leads that are present from the beginning if you are looking out for them.

All in all, a great game if you enjoy a psychological thriller kind of visual novel.
