I usually don't like games that talk about these kind of mental issues. Almost always it goes wrong. And here it almost does, but in a strange way it works. Also, the mood of this game is so oppresive thanks to its artstyle and sountrack.

If you are sensible about mental health issues, avoid this. If not, it's a good experience and maybe an important one at that.

For the length and narrative of this VN, it's hard to come away feeling you didn't get an experience worth the price of admission. It's obviously about a subject that not everyone's going to connect with or even necessarily find comfortable exploring, but it's evidently a labour close to ctc's own experiences and in that I felt it was told in a raw but compelling way. Characters can feel two-dimensional at first, but giving the game a chance of multiple playthroughs can really flesh them further and the writing that either progressively spirals or gets more emotionally charged, path depending, is all spurred along by a wonderfully oppressive soundscape.

Looking forward to any and all future work from ctc, the endings were worth finding
