This is a package with three games. Of which, I only played the first one. So, I'm only talking about that.

I really enjoyed the Date a Live light novels up to where I read (6 books at the time of writing). They feel more like a parody on harem and dating sim media expectations with a sci-fi twist and is genuinely hilarious often. There's none of that in this visual novel.

This, apart from one character's route feels like a really mediocre harem dating sim. Maybe the anime focuses more on the harem wish fulfilment stuff and they target that group of people with this. But all the identity it has in the light novels is missing from this. As a light novel fan, I was very disappointed.

After seeing the anime, my expectations for this were rock bottom, but I really like one character in particular so gave this trilogy a go. Honestly, they were decent, I quite liked them.

Completed all branches of RINNE-UTOPIA on 10/31/21 and did the same for ARUSU-INSTALL on 1/1/22. Just need to finish off the trilogy with RIO-REINCARNATION. sometime. Definitely a cute little dating sim / visual novel game.
