A game I've actually been wanting to try out for years but never got around it
It's actually pretty fun but it's too simple, I actually expected the puzzles to get harder by the end but no

I'll play through all the routes and give my opinion on each one but I really don't care about anyone that isn't Shirabe (which was my first route)
So (spoiler warning ig)


Shirabe
My one and true love, I loved him since the start and gave him all my points and affection
Honestly was salty they made him a single dad since it hits home (don't ask) too hard
But after all I found I should've done him last because his route pretty much has the whole game's content, I can't honestly believe the other routes are more complete than this one

Abyss fiction that's only carried by Tsuruno, Hanawa and Akame 4 chapters and then the ending hits the feels like a truck which was the only good part of the game, I hate the Dragon Engine and I didn't use the gadgets at all, I only did the Kaito substory because I don't care about the game enough, the only minigame I did was play Hanafuda/Koi Koi and even that was more enjoyable than trying to get through this game
Also please stop the Pocket Circuit pandering
Definitely a game they did in 6 months

-----------------------------------

Also finished the demo a day after, peakest of fictions, GOTY

I only finished Chapter 10 but damn I've been dragging this too much to do the actual post game
I loved the game but I still prefer 2's combat system and specially the Dream Model fucking sucks, I don't really like the pistol thing and it was miles less hype-y than Zeroshiki
The feature-creep was awful but I enjoyed it much more than 2's where I was burnt out after 20 hours but I raked 70 here
I audibly screamed when I went 5 chapters without Key Quests and then after the protagonists join they reintroduced them again
I was disappointed they shafted Katie even though she was there and was even a Yokai but even though they would've been written exactly the same, I would've liked her better than Nate in her relationships with Mack and Inaho, I think it just fits better
And well, obviously my eternal fight with the series is that it never should have been localized because it loses its cultural roots so I played Sukiyaki instead of the international release

I'd like to play 4 but it kinda saddens me they Dexited in Yokai Watch after the beautiful plethora of Yokai 3 has but well
