A ... cute... dating sim with Cthulhu!

Pros:

The dialogue with all of the "romances" is pretty cute, Ln'eta especially! There's a good balance between the "cosmic horror" you're unleashing vs. being kinda sweet?
Horror bits are quite well done. The first time you rip off your own face and see the bloody stump is a great "oh damn, they goin there" moment.
Art style for the characters is very good and expressive.
Humor is 100% on point. Just enough jokes about cosmic entities (I like my girls non-euclidian - so many curves!!) but also some DARK shit about the world ending to balance it out.
Cons:

Definitely short. Not just in terms of total hours but also each "route" doesn't feel super distinct just due to the length.
Meh:

The mechanic for "chanting" the words is very cool as a mechanic AT FIRST - then it gets a bit tiresome after twenty times and then for the new secret ending it was just annoying!
Hmmm:

y no cat girl?
Final Grade: B+
