this is literally like hello charlotte but about fish. awesome

why is every game with mostly royalty free music literally so awesome

also this game is like if Sisyphus was a guy

Amazing visual novel, highly recommend to any fans of denpa or psychological horror.

Genuinely shocked me at parts, and its prose is truly something special

good video game, lacking in substantial story. i know its silly to say, but the whole time i just kept feeling like i wanted to play a zelda game, it felt nostalgic yet barren of feeling.

a wonderful introduction and tone setter. i was not expecting a little game like this to bloom into a 3 part story that would sit in my brain, digesting, for such a long portion of my life. thank you, etherane

this is where im pretty sure everyone had their love for the franchise solidified. beautiful story that really spoke to how i was feeling at the time. i struggled a lot with my mental health during the school year this coincided with, especially with anxiety, paranoia, and what i now recognize as psychosis. i wont get more personal than that, but this game is a wonderful diary entry in my life and a beautiful story, if not a pessimistic one. raw and cathartic

when the gacha has a interesting storyline and im obsessed with analyzing its weird politics

not much i can say to do it justice, but this was truly a good way to end the series. ane's writing improved a lot as well and in the bonus room she confirmed she had not much planned for this series, so as a fellow writer i commend her for not drowning in plotholes and using phrases and scenes as backwards foreshadowing. a special game, not to all, but to the ones it speaks to it truly is special

pretty fun, a good spinoff that honestly set up episode 3 pretty well

heaven's gate was an interesting take on what it would be like if you removed the parasocial relationship charles had with vincent in the main game series. truly one of the most interesting character self explorations

goro akechi is the most character.

also as a persona 4 fan before this game came out, i was disappointed by how much they took from it and then reapplied to a city setting. they even did it with the main lesson??? as much as i had fun with certain characters this was a little sad. hopefully p6 doesnt do the same thing and it doesnt become atlus pulling a gamefreak.

a much better expansion to a game i felt was missing something, like its own themes. and really helped characterize akechi and joker much better. alas, i still think makoto sucks and kasumi is a poorly executed character.

kino

2 stars because i love bondage

this is much better written than the other madu works ive played, i have to wonder if the other collaborator is the cause of that, if theyve improved since zeno, or if the poor translation quality effected my perception of the other works? anyways, this was a good meditation on familial love and a nice short story. it felt rounded and said what it needed to say.
