For the length and narrative of this VN, it's hard to come away feeling you didn't get an experience worth the price of admission. It's obviously about a subject that not everyone's going to connect with or even necessarily find comfortable exploring, but it's evidently a labour close to ctc's own experiences and in that I felt it was told in a raw but compelling way. Characters can feel two-dimensional at first, but giving the game a chance of multiple playthroughs can really flesh them further and the writing that either progressively spirals or gets more emotionally charged, path depending, is all spurred along by a wonderfully oppressive soundscape.

Looking forward to any and all future work from ctc, the endings were worth finding
