The game's story is engaging, featuring a well-structured common route that culminates in a satisfying climax and sets the stage for future arcs, despite some grammatical issues in the English translation. Themes of ambition, sacrifice, and critique of capitalism are woven throughout, with the narrative enhanced by player choices, although some dramatic moments raise questions about character logic. Overall, players express excitement for the unfolding story and the potential of upcoming content.
“The common route ends on a cliffhanger, with the introduction of a new plot arc and a new antagonist.”
“This sets up a story arc that progresses for 10 chapters and has a satisfying conclusion: after many ordeals, there is a story climax in chapter 9 where the main character 'beats' the antagonist and achieves her goals.”
“I find this works very well: I feel satisfied with the progression and conclusion of the common route as a self-contained story, and because of how themes and mysteries for the 'larger' story were introduced throughout the common route, I am also intrigued by what will come next.”
“However, there are some pitfalls when it comes to the writing, particularly during the dramatic story climaxes.”
“This raises the blatant issue (that would not be so blatant if the story had not highlighted the main character using her phone at all): why didn't the main character notify hotel security instead?”
“Overall, the writing logic tends to improve tremendously outside of these dramatic scenes (I wonder if they were forcefully written in to fulfill requirements for pre-established CGs or story beats).”
