story10 positive mentions
  • Deep and mature storytelling with well-developed characters and intricate routes that intertwine with a main plot.
  • High-quality voice acting, attractive art style, and well-done CGs that enhance the emotional and atmospheric experience.
  • Unique and dark otome game that tackles serious themes rarely explored in the genre, providing a refreshing and engaging narrative.
  • The game is heavily censored from its original adult content, with important R18 scenes removed, leaving some routes feeling incomplete or lacking emotional depth.
  • Relatively high price for the shortened and censored version, with advice to purchase only on sale due to limited gameplay time and content.
  • Some gameplay issues such as limited player choices, confusing interface features, and a few routes perceived as less engaging or disappointing.

    The story is mature and emotionally intense, tackling difficult themes such as sexual violence, trauma, and complex romances with depth and strong writing. While some routes and content were cut or toned down in localized versions, leading to criticism about narrative incompleteness, the interconnected multi-route structure keeps the main plot engaging and well-paced. Overall, it delivers a gripping and dark experience that many find powerful and compelling despite some reservations about the censorship and story fragmentation.

    • “Overall the story is well done, and I really enjoyed it.”
    • “I do think it is worth it to pay at a high price as the art is great, the story line is superb; and I have a roller coaster of emotions playing this.”
    • “It's also surprisingly dark at times and the story really gets you engaged where you feel Yuriko's despair.”
    • “My main complaint is that the story is short, cut, and mutilated, which made it hard to write an exciting review despite it occupying my mind for many days.”
    • “I thought most of her content could've been put in Majima's route since it was about him - his route ends up telling you the least about him unless you get his bad ending, which makes the story feel incomplete.”
    • “It spoiled all the pleasure when I was told that it's actually a hentai story, and it's not about juicy 18+ details; the very plot is damaged in this story.”

    • “The extra section that is unlocked at the very start of the game is so hilarious, I kept giggling all the time.”
