The story and time loop mechanic are really interesting and cool, the art is fantastic, the battles are engaging and the characters are fleshed out with well thought out personalites, but my GOD I can't stand the writing. The characters are constantly screaming (with shaking text boxes and all of that) and ramble and ramble and ramble about random background things to the point of being annoying. Almost all of the characters are just ANNOYING to me. Siffrin isn't really, but I can't comprehend why they can't stand croissants but love croissants with chocolate in them (proof of the insignificant things the characters focus on) and have to hide everything about the time loop from his friends. He doesn't have anything to lose from teliing his friends this so I don't understand why it's such a big deal to them on the fact that they can't tell their friends.

Bonnie is annoying to me. They do insignificant damage in battle, they're assigned to "snack duty" and are one of the worst offenders over screaming and chiming in to stupid things that don't matter, yet everyone bowed to protect them at all costs and the whole team would die and the king wins if it means Bonnie lives of course. They can't even talk about death around them.

I dont know but it's something about the tryhard unfunny undertale-esque writing that strikes a nerve in me. I love everything else about it though. My sister begs me to pick up this game again but if it means 7 more hours of screaming and 203982047 more text boxes about how Siffrin sounded like a cat when he bumped into a table...yeah no.

this game held me by the scruff of my neck like a sopping wet cat and flung me at a wall

One of the best written games I've ever played. An extremely emotional and gripping story of what would happen if the lancer of a five-man band suddenly found themselves in a time loop and how that would affect them mentally. But also it's a lot more than that, though I'm honestly reluctant to explore how so. Just play it, it's incredibly good and best enjoyed blind.
