Uchikoshi writing at its best I think. Date is a really good protagonist who it seems like you wouldn't like on paper, but he's so charming and has a lot of endearing qualities. Date & Aiba's relationship is really touching to me and I love their banter. Somniums are a cool gameplay concept, though some of them felt a little obtuse. Some routes of this game were amazing and made me incredibly emotional but there are some parts of this game that are so unnecessary that it drags the game down, kind of. I feel weird about it because in my opinion, one of the prominent characters got way too much spotlight in comparison to another character that I think represents Date's development better, and I hate that.
