I will admit that I came in with a kind of expectation that it's a bit of a meme game, often heard be it called the poor man's grisaia. Even still I tried coming in hoping maybe I'd be surprised.

And boy was I surprised.
Never have I seen a more exploitative prose that treats its starring cast as math problems to be solved, complete stand ins for real mental issues that feel less like honest understandings of PEOPLE and more like caricatures to be toyed with. Everything about this prose SCREAMS awful, and no amount of unintentional 4chan brain worms excuses any of it.

Don't ever read this mess.

a game that tries to tackle serious issues like child abuse while also simultaneously having several panty shots of someone who is canonically 15 years old



edit: rewatching a friend play this and while most of it is actually just boring, i can’t believe i forgot that there’s like a 10 minute span where they upskirt the 9 year old CSA victim like 3 different times as a joke. actual disaster of a video game
