The graphics of the visual novel are minimal, with only a few minutes of actual visuals despite the $20 price tag. The anime style has also softened some of the more graphic content.
“Yeah, you're paying $20 for a 'visual novel' that only has a few minutes of actual visuals.”
“The anime certainly toned down a lot of the... 'graphic' stuff.”
