It's been a few years since I played it to really talk about it in depth, but regardless:

It's a solid enough game with a generally likeable cast and interesting time travel shenanigans, but it ultimately just feels like a forgettable experience. Not much about it really stood out to me.

Mini spoiler rant but I also didn't really understand the villain's actions and motivations prior to the path he ended up going in leading to the events of the story. Perhaps I just didn't understand it at the time, but it didn't feel satisfying either way.

I'd recommend it for a casual playthrough, I first played it on my phone so it was easy enough to play it on my own pace or to just pass the time before doing something else. Otherwise it's up to you if you're interested enough.

Cuando lo jugué no era todavía consciente de lo que eran las novelas visuales pero la trama me enganchó fuertísimo.
Me sorprendí mogollón con la sorpresa de la que te das cuenta si vuelves a empezar el juego tras terminarlo.

It was fun but a little lacking in resolutions. Some plot elements got left behind by the breakneck pacing. Pretty good overall though

This is definitely a game that exists. The ideas and mechanics are cool, but the actual execution itself is quite mediocre. Not to mention the story and characters are pretty whatever. Gets better towards the end at least. A cool novelty, but ultimately, not really anything special.

All over the place but eventually finds footing at the 90% completed mark.. At that point though, it's hard to appreciate what it was trying to accomplish at the beginning.... sniff. Regardless, it has a couple good moments and does feel like it has a good payoff in the end! Love the characters even though they're predictable babies. Yoink!
