Really great game, with an amazing premise and atmostphere as well as lore, and absolutely incredibly memorable characters - all of them are so fleshed out that it's impossible to not feel like you're part of the village as well. The plot progressed in such a seat gripping way that i remained glued to it for several days on a row until i completed it. And if that's not enough, upon finishing the story you get access to a sort of story+ mode, where you can reread everything again but this time including extra bits of dialogue outside the MC's reach, such as other character's thought processes and opinions and new scenes, that really add to the story and help complete the experience, explaining a lot of things you may have been left wondering the last time. I said it before and i'll say it again, the atmostphere and the characters are what make this game for me. The MC is one of -if not the most- interesting and full of personality protagonists you'll ever find in a visual novel, and this game wouldn't be nearly as good without him. The rest of the cast are all so lovable but nuanced as well, which really helps complete the feeling of humanity you get from them. The pacing was really to my liking, not too slow but no too rushed, and the resolution of the story has seen a lot of varying receptions from diferent players, but it felt great to me, even if some parts were a bit out of the blue in tone and scale. This vn would be a solid 10/10 for me, if it wasn't for the subtle but consistent nudges at romancing minors, which made me lowkey uncomfortablr in several situations, but mostly with Haru's route and Yasunaga-Hisako in their extra side story. Otherwise, really solid title.

I played this game twice, once through the normal route and then again fully with the revelation mode. I really really loved it. I'm not gonna be out here saying its perfect. But I don't think thats a good metric to have for anything. I found the story super engaging and I really loved where it went. I can see why people might not like the ending but I just adored it.

Haruaki is such a great protestant, he's such a freak.

I think this might genuinely be in my top 10 games. Though I don't know if I'm quite VN pilled enough for that. But I do feel it in my heart.

As a fan of Werewolf-style games, this was a story I found myself enraptured by with a constantly evolving cast and story revelation and twists. The game begins slow with allowing the player to get acquainted to the world as an outsider to the actions before getting them involved in it. As well, much of the game subverts the expectation of the player, especially in how players would likely jump to the conclusion that their actions will be the proper solution when that is quickly proven incorrect.
The pacing is an exercise in removing the player from the player insert character. Haruaki Fusaishi is most certainly not a conventional protagonist, with him spending the majority of the story being both selfish, self-centered, and conniving, but never to the point of being the active villain in the story, which was very surprising to see.
Gameplay-wise, issues for players may arise. The game is almost strictly visual novel, with the only player input being from branching path choices, which will largely be pointless as most lead to game over screens. Mileage may vary for each player, but for me, I was not bothered due to the strength of the mystery and character interactions. Additionally, the game is very wordy and does not have a dubbed option, so while I would have preferred to have had the option, I was able to get through it.
All in all, this is a game best liked by people who can handle a strict visual novel, but quite frankly if it doesn't hook you after the first trial, you'll likely never get hooked. I may be rating it too highly for its faults, but even years after playing it, it still revisits my mind, so the impact was apparent.

A thrilling and very well paced VN with an incredible protagonist, a very solid cast otherwise too that ties into the great mafia scenes showcasing the great dynamics and thematic cohesion at play, a generally great atmosphere and sense of danger that's very present all the time, and most interestingly of all a fascinating perspective on themes of society and religion. Unfortunately the ending is a big sticking point and it keeps this from being higher than it could've been, but it's notable that it doesn't ruin what I did love about this VN.

A very engaging visual novel with lots of content and text to read, very interesting concepts and very afable characters even in their madness, I liked some parts but others could have used better work, the long time they took in each "werewolf" game was just fastidious so that subtracts some points for the complete enjoyability of it, it leaves some mysteries unsolved like the real identity of the MC but I think funnily enough all the good moments stay on the back of your mind after you play it.

What a wild ride. It sure took it's time for 3 hours of introduction but when the game started it hits you with detailed concepts of folklore and forms a werewolf/mafia game out of that. The humor is pretty straightforward for a VN but manages to entertain. Also I love the protagonist and related to him a lot. Mystery was intriguing too. Builds the tension with the mysteries in the right way, up until the last keys. The game's pace became so slow that my sister and I were about to abandon the game. We mustered up our last remaining patience and beat the game. Ending is satisfying though, can't really complain. If you like time loops and/or mafia/werewolf, you're probably gonna like it.
