One of the most entertaining mystery vns ive played. As the chapters go on the creativity of the dev really shines through. I particularly enjoy all the minigames. They arent anything too special, but they break up the pace nicely.
The art direction is actually so good too. Incredibly unique and confident in it's insane designs.
The game doesnt wear it's influences on it's sleeve, it wears them on it's ita bag as huge holographic buttons and you know what? It's kind of awesome. It never steals or outright reuses things from the genre, the person who made this is clearly a huge fan of these typse of games and used their knowledge.
The atmosphere is surprisingly good, especially early on, the game is scary. Not in a jumpscare yikes typa way, more in a "this is really fucked" way.
The problems I do have are twists being slightly more convoluted than they need to be, ending up ruining motifs established early on. And whatever Keiji has going on. Him as a partner and foil to sara's personality is really good. Over the course of the game he becomes a mentor father figure to her and i really really like that. But they hit you with his flirtying???? or whatever the fuck so much that its hard to ignore what the actual intention behind his character is, which makes me insane.

Very much looking forward to the last chapter.
