in the past


Had it installed for about 4 years, and was reading it on and off for a while.
It really is just a book with photos, but a pretty fun one.

What this story lacks in mindfucky premise it makes up for with a great cast, decent pacing, and nearly flawless execution. I didn't expect to like this one as much as I do

man that was so fun so good I cried so fucking muchhh. the story mechanic is so different from anything ive played, following each person an hour at a time and the jump mechanic. i love you osawa twins i love you achi endo, every character in this even the brief side characters are so interesting and memorable this game is really special

This is a great ''first VN'' if I've ever seen one, it's just fun all the way through, with fun characters that are fleshed out very well as the story continues through it's mystery as it slowly unveils, with genuinely moving bits here and there, had a great time with this VN.

Beat main story. Gotta go back to 100%.


Worst visual novel i have ever read

Got to the normal/"The End?" ending and did not have the stamina to continue

HumveeRuin's Must-play

I'm usually not a fan of visual novels, or reading...
However, 428 Shibuya Scramble created a lovely story with multiple moments of suspense.
Plot points unraveled in tiny drops throughout multiple playthroughs of the same scenarios, but even small choices in one character's plot can have a large impact on another's.

Liked the first part of the game more before it started getting more serious, but still great throughout.

Has a few minor annoyances that come up often, but overall coalesces into a startlingly unique and stylish adventure with a tremendous cast.

The game tried to warn me! There were “Keep out” signs everywhere!

But nooo, I just had to keep going and not listen.

A wild ride from start to finish. I'm honestly a little surprised live-action visual novels didn't take off more than they did.

you have to admire the chutzpah it took to give the culprit of this game the same name as the culprit of a much better story

Largely a good time, even if Minorikawa is extremely annoying and the more serious end half isn't as good as the endearingly dumb beginning half; it'd be a five-star game if the protagonists were Chiri and Kajiwara.

Mechanically, this game is a mess, not letting players control the speed of text very well and sometimes the flowchart is a bit clunky too. If you can tolerate that though, the cast of characters are all really fun and the plot is very engaging too

Might possibly be my favorite adventure game ever besides Psychonauts

Had an engaging start, but slowed down quite a bit in the latter half and finished with a very unsatisfying ending. Not worth the time or money.

really fun characters, plot is a fun convoluted mess, love it!

One of the best visual novels ever. The live-action presentation is used so well, and the story and characters are all really fun, too. It feels like everything works together to make it a really unique, but familiar experience that's enjoyable all the way through. I hope it gets more popular in the West one day.

very unique game style its written out like an actual novel and there arent any voices
the use of real-life photography has an immersive effect and feels reminiscent of the tokusatsu genre
switching between timelines to make the "right" choice might be tedious for some but its a great interactive aspect

Not having the option to skip already-read text is really annoying in a branching visual novel like this. I also didn't find the attempts at humor to be funny. The multiple intersecting storylines approach is cool, but I wish that the game respected my time more.


Magnífica VN de historias entrecruzadas.
El único pero que le pongo es la imposibilidad de hacer skip cuando ya has visto alguna escena y estás esperando a poder elegir una nueva decisión y que alguno textos son bastante complicados de leer frente a imágenes muy blancas.
Por lo demás, lo dicho: una magnífca VN, recomendada para cualquier amante del género.

Among the people who have actually played this, I think its actually a little overrated, but there's something charming about a FMV/live-action VN. Goofy characters and scenarios, I'd still recommend this if this sort of thing is up your alley.

gameplay in the final section fucking sucks but the game is pretty good otherwise
