to be honest the more i sit with it the more i dislike it. the meta world stuff is cool and i love lambda bern and lion but most of the game really does nothing for me. i get what ryukishi was going for but i find it to be incredibly anticlimactic and disappointing in all honesty. when its good its really good though and it has some fantastic character writing so that brings its rating up a bit. it excels as a collection of character studies but fails absolutely miserably as a cohesive story to me
pacing fucking sucks but my lord does it pay off in the ??? section. my opinion of this game before and after i finished it is night and day lol. i was kinda expecting the answer arcs to be similar to higurashi's in that meakashi gives u a clear explanation of watanagashi etc etc, but thats not this games fault its obviously a very different story and ive clearly learned all expectations should be thrown out the window. also dleanor is so cool.
