I would rate this game lower because of some of the art looking a little crusty and the abrupt ending that the average player is likely to get, as well as how poorly explained many of the plot points are, but I'm a big fan of the branching story tree and the fact that it has full voice acting, which is an insane ask for any VN, let alone a fairly niche unknown name like this.

it's creepy and mysterious at times, but does start to buckle under the weight of its story and the choices of its seven(!!!) protagonists towards the end

uno N-bomb @ 3:17

This game is crazy
Voice actors killed it especially TeamFourStar guy as Luke
7 or 8/10 for enjoyment in the first ~10 hours, had a blast

one of the worst vn's ive ever played. you'd get better writing out of a dead fish

I think it was pretty good except the endings. I had so much fun playing it.

I had fun playing this one. I don't have a lot of visual novel experience in the horror genre. This VN is heavy on the novel side. The first run took me roughly 14 hours. This is one of the few games I have ever played that felt like my choices really mattered. You could make a small decision that later on a different character will comment on it.

The art is fantastic. The animations are awesome and make it less static. (Minus the weird boob physics...come on.) Special kudos to all the voice actors. Everyone's voice and speech felt like that character.

Overall, it's high quality VN. I did have an issue with crashing on certain paths. It would break when I tried to instantly skip the dialogue, but I could pass that by the classic "fast-forward" skip. That was unfortunate since I had to sit and wait. One reason I have so much time logged into this game.

The downside to all those different choices: there are MANY, MANY different paths and nodes in the flowchart. My time is so bloated because I convinced myself to get every achievement. There are achievements to unlock every choice in all seven chapters. It was so much work. But it did make the first handful of runs unique.

The game does need hints or text on the in-game's flowchart to help you remember what to unlock. There's seven characters and many different combos you can't possibly remember. I did feel a bit disappointed in the true ending. There's a ton of content throughout the game and I was hoping for more focus on the horror part.

a really good game, good story
