    • “I didn't expect this game to have an actual good story... not only that the characters are great too... the storyline behind this game goes so deep I forgot I was playing an eroge... also, damn that ending, I was crying... they really know how to pull your heartstrings.”

    • “Came for the experience, stayed for the story, got unexpected feels.”
    • “The plot went almost nowhere and didn't engage me.”
    • “There's also no quest menu and time is constantly running, which forces you to read the very wordy text.”

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some players enjoy the bug fighting mechanics, others may find the repetitive nature of the grinding tedious, especially if they prefer more action-oriented gameplay.

    • “There are 30 animated pixel graphic h-scenes which you can view again in the recollection room (you can find them in the section where you load your game file).”
    • “For me, the major feature is not the sexual part (it is decent pixel artwork too) but the storyline.”
