Playing a visual novel with a group of friends, debating choices and narrating silly character voices, is immense fun.
Taking that social experience and fleshing it out into a full game is a genuine stroke of genius. The strategy layer here has depth, giving an experience closer to a large-group boardgame than the more traditional visual novel group-read.

Highly recommend if you can get a group of 7 or more people together in a discord call or a living room.
