It almost feels wrong to say it's great but it really is. Manages to subvert every possible weakness from the start and build it into something meaningful and poignant with every scene communicating something important. One of the most visceral and real portrayals of mental illness in a VN I've ever seen and I can only imagine how well the full game will build off of this. Very much worth the read, especially considering its length.

This game will preach empathy and love to victims of all kinds of bigotry EXCEPT racism and then woobify the weird pedophilic relationship. Abhorrently inconsistent and just miserable to think about, worsened by how average and unremarkable so much of the game's strengths feel beyond the 2 obvious highlight characters. Just read Umineko instead if you want to see this sort of story done with any tact and more interesting writing to boot. One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had with a game.
