I had to force myself to sit through this before playing Kara no Shoujo because of some connections that ended up not being that important anyway, and just nice nods at past material at best. One of my least pleasant VN reads ever. Good production values and atmosphere for the time, unfortunately very "porny", so to speak. And somehow they managed a ~17 hour VN feel long. Some of the non-canon endings have literal ero-fanfic-tier writing. I don't like "VN homework", VNs that you have to read for the sake of a better, non-direct-sequel-with-the-same-cast sequels.
