Took me about a year to finish it after playing through the Danganronpa series. Some of the endings left a bitter taste in my mouth and I didn't think the game was gonna be nearly as interesting as it ended up being. The reason why I mentioned Danganronpa is because although both games aren't very similar, the part I like about both Somnium Files and the Danganronpa series is learning about what came before the beginning of the game, also both games would probably be liked by people with a perverted sense of humor I guess. If you dropped the game, I really suggest you pick it back up, the last two routes made it completely worth it for me.

I can totally see why some have dropped this game though, some of the dialogue can be pretty cringe or dreadful and one or two of the endings made me fluctuate my opinion about this game from good to worse. It's really up to the player and what they like out of these kinds of games to deem it's worth.
