This very much feels like a minimum viable murder timeloop visual novel. Three characters, a single location, and not much fluff between major plot points. I would honestly say it's almost too efficient, with your first ending happening within ~30 minutes of playtime, which can feel a bit unearned when it feels you've barely met these characters and one is already bleeding out on the floor. Contemporaries like Higurashi or Zero Escape usually have a lot more runway for getting attached to the characters and immersing yourself in the premise before anyone draws blood or supernatural elements reveal themselves.

That said, I did enjoy this game, and thought the story and twists were interesting. As a writer that struggles with scope creep and making small, polished experiences, I really respect what was built, here. I was pleasantly surprised by seeing how deep the rabbit hole went, and the nudges you get between endings were just enough to get me to see things through to the end.

A cute game about writing poems with your friends, and maybe a little bit of love ;)

Monika, my dear sweet love. I'm sorry for everything I put you through.
