masterful use of the visual novel media as a whole if only it werent for the fact that most of the time you're gonna look at either boring slice of life segments or sex scenes with an insurmountable amount of cum spilling out and over the top moans but that can also be said for the entire porn industry so who am I to judge (im a fan of creampies anyway so I won't complain too much but after like 5 sex scenes in the true route + loop segment I was going numb and im not even into this kind of stuff)

you and me and her is something that most people associate with ddlc so let's get that one out of the way this has NOTHING to do with ddlc apart from a miscellaneous of themes and the aptitude to break the 4th wall but while that game was more centered about the horror aspect this is more versed into the romance/denpa aspect of it like the things feeling a little bit off

as a visual novel it's pretty as fuck the ui is acceptable (no full controller support is a crime) but the true spotlight is the art style the 2 heroines look good as fuck either in their portraits that are super pretty and expressive or in the CGs with their pussies on your face

apart from that the sfx department is alright the overall vibe is that of a slice of life with horror twist so the ost isn't gonna go too fucking crazy but it's passable enough youre gonna listen to 3 happy tracks A LOT so have fun sure the voice acting is top notch but I'm pretty sure that's a staple for the japanese industry I've never heard a bad VA in jap if that's even possible and miyuki is definitely a highlight I loved her going slowly buck wild

so whatever you play as Male Insert which has obviously the most boring personality ever and is just going about in life in sadness and numbness until boom female heroines miyuki is the childhood friend trope the most popular girl of the class athletic intelligent and apparently perfect and then there's aoi who's autistic and full of shit and she thinks she's a VN character and calls god from time to time and she also likes cats and cum sorry who said that

this main trio is interesting and you're gonna see a lot of them interacting and befriending each other and shit but it's pretty evident after some time that the protagonist is just a vessel for the choices of the player theres nothing really remarkable about him apart from the fact that he's ugly as shit and has a huge cock because that's every single VN protagonist ever

mind you the girls are pretty fine they do lean on the stereotypes they're based on but do get some kind of nuance here and there and fun interactions sure this goes on for a LOT of fucking time (maybe I also am the problem since you COULD finish this game only playing miyuki route + true route but I decided to just do every single route because thats what you do in these kinds of VNs come on) and I'm not that huge of a fan of SoL moments in this but I guess they're fine to endure for the next part of the game

before going there I want to just talk about the side characters of this game because there ARE side characters

i have this weird relationship with yuutarou because he's literally my type of fictional character big dumb and loud so at first I was really horny for him and was like omg ok so are we gonna have a 3some with him buy after some time he really gets annoying and one note like the writers said ok this characters only personality is being a virgin and crying about it (me-core type character) and that's about it sure it gets into some bro even tho we're boys I love you etc etc ok then fuck me in the ass ? shock tiktok sfx he's cute as hell why did they do this to me

haru is terrible

SPOILER TERRITORY

after the true route which is basically the netorare route which is basically the aoi is actually a VN character who conveniently gets her "batteries ?" recharged with people dicking her TF down which is something pretty understandable if you ask me but then she goes out of her way to fuck haru ??? like you couldve fucked yuutarou and given me a porn CG of his dick for once so my thirst can be satiated but nooooooo let's just fuck the femboy crossdressing I'm so tired of this game

whatever miyuki goes wild he beats the crap out of everyone the visual novel reboots

the second act of the game e.g. the loop segment is definitely my favorite part of the entire vn and led me to actually boost the score of this one because that shit is fucking incredible

miyuki knows whats up she knows it's a vn and can actually change things here and there to make the main character fall in love with her she also knows there's a YOU behind the screen and sometimes will just break the 4th wall because why the fuck not

the fact that shes not that well versed into vns and you can see the UI of the new version of totono is disgustingly ugly is so fucking funny to me really drives home the absurdity of it and now no save option you're not going anywhere

so with chains on your legs and a predatory yandere girl abusing your dick any time she wants you're ready to lead your new life just doing some different memories segments (SoL datey stuff) and the main gimmick is making her angry disagreeing with her in every single decision so she goes fucking wild

I LOVE THIS PART it's so fucking nuts that this girl actually chained you in a loop and is in complete control of it all the events are in her hands and she can basically toy with you however she wants and what's really interesting is the fact that she will notice the passing of time or some repeated loops like the part where you buy a book like 8 times and each time she goes "what the hell are you gonna do with 8 books" and the character goes "huh" or that she will say "happy one month here" and the character goes "huh" whatever he's so fucking dumb at this point

so this aside as soon as she goes crazy she defies the VN once again and puts you in another loop with less options and your only way to get out is using her phone but it's locked with 10 safety question now this part made me cry because (as miyuki will also let you notice) it's randomly generated and walkthrough don't actually mean shit so you actually have to LISTEN to her something that people never do so why should I so after crying my eyes out you get to call God get out of the loop yada yada

shit happens and you gotta use the phone number to call aoi back and its like a super incredibly long number that needs you to do math like God's number minus the serial number of your version of the game plus the times you came into miyuki which is funny as hell

so whatever aoi back miyuki caught up to you boom choice do you want your autistic kitty girl or your abusive dominatrix girl there you go

both endings are fine but they're not the highlight of the game anyway miyuki one is like "well that happened" and they fuck and aoi instead is like "in the sea of limitless VNs im gonna be there with you again in the form of another big titty horny girl" which is also funny but I gotta say aois one made me some degree of emotional so kudos to you for making me care for characters that I thought were gonna bore me to fucking hell

so this is actually one of the best uses of the VN media ever but you're gonna go through a lot of senpai cum in me i want your babies fill me up with your dick your cock is so huge im gonna break etc etc sure it's gonna get a boxer out of you one time or 2 but I sure did get tired of these scenes ESPECIALLY with the miyuki one that makes YOU fuck with her since yeah forgot to mention the heroines at one point discard the main character as only a proxy of the player so they want to fuck the player now and yeah as soon as they get a chance they sure as hell will do that like the miyuki masturbating scene where she pretends she's getting fucked by the player is insane and goes on for so fucking long I just started browsing rule34 for something ACTUALLY related to my tastes

so all in all nice VN it couldve went into subahibi directions but I'm glad it stayed into its lane and just delivered a romance story with an edge on insanity and 4th wall breaking some people are gonna say this is the second coming of christ but I can confidently say that at least its a cool installment to the overall genre defying expectations and traditions and shit

yuutarou can you show me your dick im going crazy

A piece of fiction with a central theme that most of everything ties into, and exhausts almost all dimensions of its medium to explore. The theme is that of Commitment and Regret and the way it explores this is through an eroge VN. That said, this game is dripping with so much empathy and emotion while being designed to be engaged with from the single perspective of YOU playing it. Spoiling or divulging anything would be a disservice to it.
Play the JAST USA version or the Director's Cut patched Steam version. Everything in this game is made with a purpose that feeds back into itself, so cutting anything down or out is unimaginable and just isn't the same experience.

i played this primarily because i had played DDLC on a whim, heard it mentioned, and yet again am a sucker for metafiction. i obviously won't go into the plot more than general strokes here, but Aoi's extremely, extremely endearing and i liked most of the slice-of-life stuff because of her. i liked a lot of it, and although the very very end felt mastrubatory, the majority of the last act was fucking insane, disorientating, and horrific.

oh, and for the record - most of the sex scenes made me crack up. however, for the purposes of getting the fullest experience out of the ending, i gotta suggest getting the patch if you get it off steam

Meeeeeeeeeeu amigo... Assim, se eu disser que é mal escrito, eu estarei mentindo. Mas... Sabe qual foi o problema? Eu esperei algo que nunca foi a proposta dessa VN e acabei me empolgando demais com o que falaram dela e acabei só hypando tudo. Quanto maior sua expectativa, maior também sua decepção.

Não fiquei com vontade de ver as outras rotas, sabe... Talvez mais tarde eu veja e talvez tenha outra visão da obra. Mas os sentimentos que ficaram em mim foram estranheza, desconforto e decepção.

Para um Eroge, ele se propõe a ser mais do que só mais um Eroge, isso realmente tem que ser reconhecido. Mas não era o que eu estava esperandokkkkkkkkkakakaa

Não sei, mano, se recomendo isso. Tô confuso. Eu reconheço a boa escrita e as pontas soltas que são explicadas quando você tenta outra rota e faz outras escolhas. Porém eu estava esperando um X, mas o jogo é Y. O que não é ruim, mas tamém eu não sei se queria ver, sabekkkkk

Review confusa, eu sei. Eu tô confuso, cara. Não sei.
