I started playing this ready to open this review with a guilty "it's not for me" or a dismal "I didn't mesh with this", but the finale and conclusion was so special and important to me; moreso following reading vghime's own afterword and breakdown.
Experienced over a late evening, gripping me halfway through. It's just about hitting 2.30 in the morning and I'm disappointed I had not heard of this sooner despite closely following vghime's online translation career for many years. Yes, it's true I personally wasn't particularly fond of the BGM, and yes, I did find a few of the deaths cheap especially towards the start of the game when I was learning the ropes. But it was all so surface level compared to the impact this had on me, really. I liked this game.
