Coming to this VN while having read Uchikoshi's modern works (Zero Escape and AI), it is very surprising how much of the VN has its concept later being reused in his future works.
I generally liked how casual the setting felt, despite the general situation what was happening. Very neatly placed info throughout the story that makes you definitely use your brain WHAT exactly was going on. But also very fun to read that you can just enjoy the spectacle what was going on. It has an enjoyable cast too, with some standouts and some who were just fine.
There are obviously routes that are better and more important than the others, but I don't think I fully disliked any, just that a certain one didn't add much to the overall plot (which I was still fine with)
Not gonna go deep into spoilers but man, the reveals are kinda insane for something that came out in 2002? Some stuff that you could pick up by (over)analyzing stuff or being a monkey with a typewriter. And the best part? Everything came together so well and the ending is satisfying and I just don't have any problems with it? Great VN, it really is.
