My boyfriend introduced me to this game. At first, I wasn't even that into it. Some time had passed and I revisited it. I was hooked. I'd say definitely give this game a second chance if you're not into it the first time around. I'm pretty sure this was my first true visual novel I'd ever played. If you want to take your time reading and totally immerse yourself in the world and the characters, you'll enjoy this game. It's the most unique in terms of the characters and their development throughout the game, environments, art style, and mystery solving. What drives you to keep playing is the strong desire to know what is going on and you become invested in the characters. Your mind will run wild trying to predict what's going on, who will die next, and who will be the next killer. You can talk to characters and get closer to them. This will give you some insight into who they truly are and why. The class trials are so much fun. Trying to shoot down contradictions with truth bullets. It's fun when you find out who the killer is and you get to see the weird & absurd execution animation. I will admit that the ending was not very satisfying to me, so if you're super hooked, you should play the other games, watch the anime, and read the short stories & manga. This game made me realize that I love visual novels.
