Overall, I think anyone familiar with Uchikoshi’s works and adventure games will likely find something to enjoy on it. The plot has many strong beats, the mystery is there constantly until the end and the trademark twists are there to keep the player on the edge. The characters are very entertaining and the game balances the dark and serious moments with its humor and lighthearted tone rather well, though not without faults.

It isn’t drastically different from the first game, which was already a very good title, but NirvanA Initiative refines a lot of its prequel’s rougher edges and I think it’s an improvement in almost every department. Few games also succeed in incorporating so many different elements, like sci-fi and paranormal, as well as this. It took me around 30 hours to complete, and I was hooked the entire time. I highly recommend it.
