I'm a little conflicted about this game. I enjoyed parts of both the dungeon crawling and the visual novel side of things, but didn't adore either and overall it felt quite flat.

The combat was fine, although I'd have liked it to be more varied and less button-mashy (Hades has spoiled us all). I felt like I was taking too long in the first dungeon, but then I beat the second in two runs and was a bit surprised there wasn't a third. Romantic visual novels aren't super my thing so some of the VN moments came off mega cringe, but I did appreciate the variety of personalities and the overall vibe.

My biggest gripe is that to finish the final fight you have to be nice to your weird incel stalker and help him defeat his inner demons after he kidnapped half a dozen people and almost murdered you... like the text of the game understood that what he did was messed up and gave you dialogue options that let you make it clear you hated him, but you still had to be his therapy pal?
