[BACKLOG DELETED ORIGINAL COMMENT DURING SYNC FOR SOME REASON]
Genuinely interesting attempt at personifying anxiety and tries to be very nuanced in it's message. Animation and music is great, but the humour kills it for me. (EDIT: The companion essay servers as a very simple yet genuienly helpful starter's guide to bettering mental health.

All endings + the bonus video..
This would work if it was a flash animated skit from 2013 and not a minimal Ren-py VN I pay actual money for.

Entirety of VN & Shmup mini-games.
Also read through Alice's Mansion parody corner and played a little bit of the puzzle game.

Same issues as adventures with anxiety though they are far worse, especially with how direct and personal the subject matter is. Though it does make sense since this is one of her first games, I guess.
The soundtrack is great but I dropped it out of utter disgust once I did the "Fuminori becomes normal" route. Genuinely fucking disgusting, atrocious, and boring.
A quick and fun RPG that gets a bit grindy later on. Chip system seems really cool at first but can be quickly abused by having dupe weapons and whatnot.
Played for the first couple of hours.
PS VITA port patched.
Checked it out for it's alledged connection to Sengoku Rance on VNDB but it seems very boring, both story and gameplay wise.

TL;DR: Media Literacy: the Video Game.
Does a simple and slightly effective job at communicating it's message but can be a bit janky at times

This is boring NGL really hard to get into in comparison to Advance Wars.
Also UI is not very good and feels like no matter what settings I use I'm always squinting my eyes to read anything.

Not exactly the worst but it's not something I'd like to replay again gameplay-wise. Very easy yet very tiring.
I find it being a short, RNG-based RPG an interesting idea but also infuriating because you either get really lucky and are able to cheese through the game with ease (like my second run) or get into a dead end and have to start over because of the auto-save feature (like with my first.)
TL;DR: This game changed my criteria for a 1★ game, as evident in my bio. Some things just aren't worth touching ever again.

Bare-bones and wasn't all that interested or engaged by the story. Gameplay doesn't really scold you for messing up and just pretends nothing happened. The Skip button didn't even work so I feel sorry that the team didn't get the budget that they needed for this.
