this game frustrates me so much.

it has ideas. that's what i can say for it. it has ideas about storytelling, character writing, and compelling mystery. and then it takes these ideas, sets them on fire, convert them into fertilizer, and bury me alive as i scream DR2 IS BAD, YOU GUYS ARE JUST NOSTALGIC

the comic relief in this game is actually terrible. every time someone tries to crack a joke i feel like i'm in a goddamn fever dream because no one ever reacts to anything or has a normal relationship to other people. one girl gets psychologically and physically abused on screen and no one says anything about it. one guy is constantly screaming deranged schizo darklord nonsense and everyone treats him as normal. another guy actively wants to kill people and after tying him up in the second chapter the only thing anyone ever says again is "wow nagito you really have problems!" teruteru tries to sexually assault a woman in his first scene
