"Give it to me straight, doc"
"I think I'll give it gay this time" hands me a zip file with this game

Every straight male should dabble in gay VNs from time to time, be a little cultured and invade queer safe spaces! Love is love and I need my periodic dose of lovey dovey stuffey teehee and in this game you mostly will not be getting that!! Idk who's whipping out the ouija board in every manor but this time I think it's the boys summoning demons while girls are doing sleepovers! I guess it's just a trope we have to live with.

The visual style is great! Lilika looks like a completely different person in CGs, this is lore accurate. Only Lilika's routes are necessary in the grand scheme of things but she giving homophobic homosexual the way she needa stop gatekeeping friends from achieving roommates status... will she? Play and find out. Glad the game isn't called Lilika atleast but current name isn't that much better be fr

Alright poking the screen to see funny text time is over, I must turn over a new leaf.. Licensed board game adaptations are calling me. (if you find my review for said licensed board game adaptation without looking at my profile I hope it'll make you grow into a better person).

I wanted to like it, but tropes on tropes and repetitive story-telling for what is ultimately no thematic payoff feels difficult to recommend. There are parallels that are set up in ways that feel like they should almost work, but they just... don't? The story is very light on actual theme, which only leaves plot, and while it's common for visual novels to not actually have any meaningful choices, that somehow feels more insulting when the choices lead to different endings that are all as equally meaningless, all in service of a disconnect to a real plot.

but also it's gay, god bless
