The voice acting is good, really good even. But, overall its just sort of...uninteresting? Western visual novels have this tact where they all try to be metatextual but don't really understand why the metatextual elements of stuff like Umineko or Subarashiki Hibi work, and here its basically just set dressing.

If you try to contrast it with something like Stanley Parable however, you come into the problem where that game actively had things it wanted to talk about with regards to how video games function--this by function of being a standard visual novel can't do this, so it tries to play off the emotion of the leads which brings you back to the first problem.

Its not bad outright, but its just dull and sort of lacking in things to say.
