give it up for year 10!!! year 10 with no chapter 2!!! i have literally grown up and realized this was a fucked up series to have had as a childhood interest in this time
they're coming out with an outright new corpse party 2 instead of updating this 😭 lol lmao

whoops! we justified the genocide of a native race because we didn't want our cute cast to look bad! oh well!

(flops at being the deconstruction of the dungeon crawler genre EO1 was narratively but thats ok my childhood nostalgia and love for EO as a series overpowers that)

i replayed the game in full a second time and i still don't know how i feel about it. 7/10

standard charon affair. really, really wants you to think it's being deep but it's not much more than a puddle. not sure how charon has gotten this far nor why i put myself through this one

cheritz is responsible for my mental illness

kinda like arknights but worse in most directions (worse gacha. paid packs are all inefficient for pulls and inconsistent just buy the premium^2 currency. skins all require you to pay up cash because you don't get said premium^2 currency for free, ever. few ops in AK are truly a waste, but there are a LOT of ops that are a waste of resources in this game, and there's not even that many chars out rn)

the main bright side is that they're pretty generous with pulls for now but expect a drought after clearing main content for awhile as far as i can see from write-ups given by CN players.

but...... schneider proooobably kissed vertin, so it has slightly more canon yuri. ymmv. i do still find this game charming and actively play but it's pretty clunky

shelved note: saw Everything but yanagi's route endings because i got bored not long into his route in general

okazaki would be cuter if he was the dog rather than sasazuka's heroine. put a collar on that man
numb your brain before reading if you don't like cops and/or are capable of critical thinking because they circle from "cops corrupt" back to "cops 100% good anyways" over and over and over in this

this game flopped shockingly hard on release ngl. i remember the excitement around the demo and then the game actually came out and 😶

rewired my brain chemistry. now i love games that do their best to make you quit by throwing 9 bad endings in a row at you

i've played too many bad otomes to not be unironically terribly endeared by this

disappointed but not surprised by its . content .

sayooshi for the vtuber age
+ 1 star for very strong artwork but not a fan

best DGR game. though that doesn't speak for its own quality as much as the increasing lack of in any other title
continues to capture the hearts of teenagers who think they're mature around the world. unfortunately i was one of them

everyone i knew who played this game with me has developed some form of chronic wrist injury including myself

a queer love story about people in holes. i got this game from one of itch.io's charity bundles, but honestly i feel it's worth the price of admission otherwise. the other review on here making a snide comment about it being generated from AI Dungeon was really disingenuous.
the writing is very earnest, with a few errors here and there that don't affect the reading much. the art leans more towards keeping the energy of a sketch, rather than being particularly polished, but it worked for me.
