A game about pro-life that unintentionally promotes abortion by showing how awful a fetus’s dream can be. The dream includes being brutally disemboweled, freezing to death, banging your adopted sister or eating your own mother. The ending also goes “no wait! life is good!” while the main protagonist forgets EVERYTHING that happened in their dream. Nothing in this game meant anything and even aborting the child has more in game significance.
The writing is either convoluted or extremely dumb. Bad endings exist for the sake of bad endings. You have:
1. Save your sister from falling to her death. Leads to a bad ending where you have multiple children with her.
2. Prevent Megi from killing everyone to save her child (The world instantly ends and everyone is explained to just magically die).
3. Not related to choices per say. But the expected ending of Route A involves Mikuri choosing to sacrifice herself on the pressure plate so the two children could leave the apocalypse base. It’s so pointless because Mikuri could have put something heavy on it. Her absence only led to the children dying out in the snow.
Characters have deviations because it’s a “different route.” Megi gets eaten as a HUMAN in one route and in the next route she’s a fucking ANDROID. It’s so confusing and the explanation why it happens is piss poor.
For the other stuff… The foreshadowing is also as subtle as a character screaming before attempting a surprise attack. The translation is also really bad. It just makes the writing look even worse. Just a very poor game, but still somewhat batter than Charon’s other games.
Demonica is the best part and it’s not because of her writing. If I had a nickel for everytime there was was a gay 4th wall breaker with purple hair then I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I do not know who I am, I don't know why I am here, All I know is that I must get to Tokyo.
