I can't rate this game because I have so many mixed feelings about it.
VNs are hard from me, because I read a lot more than I game, so I am PICKY when it comes to writing.
The Good: the music is incredible, the women are written with complexity and depth, Beatrice is here. I had to skim the gore/violence sections because they were so viscerally written. Up there with McCarthy in terms of being able to turn my stomach.
The Mediocre: every scene is like 20-30% too long, in my opinion. Ryukishi07 has this habit of telling me 10 times what I read and learned just fine when I read it the first time. Please, trust me, Ryukishi07 I promise I understood Shannon's character development in this volume. It's better here than in Higurashi though.
The bad: the tea party scenes are so self-indulgent and are so so so long.
Will I keep reading? Maybe. Maybe.
