"Why can't l just sit on the couch, like you, watching this story unfold, waiting for this planet to die?"
This is like if Stanislaw Lem was forced to write an Idea Factory game at gunpoint. The metafictional aspects are incredibly well done - they appear trite and overdone when you approach each individual part of its self-aware "gimmicks" but taken together the way it involves the player and our reality into its metaphysical narrative space is nothing short of masterful and its eventual drive of our space into its space into a further, unknown, unrelated space is incredible. I also enjoyed the core narrative after having completed my required reading (ciel nosurge plot summary), I am super baffled they translated this without Ciel since its a direct sequel. Not my favourite gust game but its up there, and Akira Tsuchiya's involvement in blue reflection tie makes a lot of sense after having played this. Definitely gave me a stronger basis for my interpretation of that game.

P.S. I know the intended reading of Earthes and ion's relationships supposed to be a "the anime girl is in love with you anon" thing but my reading is that I am ion and I want to fuck the robot. Thank you Mr. Tsuchiya for the robotfucker girl representation
