    The story in this installment continues directly from the previous game, offering a deeper look into the characters and themes like immigration and corruption, though it can feel railroading and less engaging than season one. While some appreciate the strong character depth, emotional subplots, and balanced blend of mystery and romance, others find the protagonist weak, plot elements disjointed, and romance underwhelming. Overall, the story is praised for its humanized characters and satisfying closure but criticized for uneven writing and less compelling mystery compared to its predecessor.

    • “Both season 1 and 2 complement each other, covering each other’s flaws like broken shards of glass or missing puzzle pieces finally coming together to complete not just the story, but also the depth of the characters.”
    • “The overarching subplot regarding the Neruda family, juxtaposed to that revelation, was also a pretty satisfying tearjerker that ended on a somewhat somber but hopeful note, reinforcing the notion that this is a story on a smaller scale, about the need for change and letting go of one's obsessions.”
    • “Every character in this game has their own story, their own associations and world view, and most importantly, they all feel very distinctly human and important no matter how small.”
    • “Season 2 starts directly after the events of the last game, post Auld Lang Syne, and assumes the player is acquainted with the plot points and the cast by now, so there's no point going in unless they've played the previous entry.”
    • “The plot then shifts gears and railroads the visual novel into yet more of the same - immigration, corruption, and time traveling through Teuta's signature power.”
    • “The protagonist is basically useless in her own story, making dumb decisions one after another, if she does anything at all.”
  • emotional

    The game features incredible writing that evokes strong emotions, highlighted by heart-wrenching bad endings and deeply moving routes, especially those of Helvetica, Shu, and Mozu. Players frequently experience intense tension and genuine emotional impact, with some routes bringing them to tears.

    • “Incredible writing, soul-crushing bad endings and wonderfully emotional routes -- especially Helvetica and Mozu.”
    • “Shu and Mozu shined in this one for me, their bad ends once again heart-wrenching in all the best ways and the amount of tension in their stories made things exciting.”
    • “The Helvetica route is just so well-written I cried a lot.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game is generally well-written and enjoyable, with character interactions often being funny and lighthearted. However, some recurring jokes, like Teuta's food-related antics, are considered clichéd and fail to amuse. Overall, the humor balances between clever moments and occasional missed opportunities.

    • “The reader also gets to know Teuta's parents, and their interactions range from hilarious and lighthearted to sad to nonexistent.”
    • “Character interactions are still funny, well written, and pleasant to read.”
    • “Crow is just way woker than Teuta is, and I think that part of the route was kind of funny.”
