The game features a unique multi-path story that evolves based on player choices, transitioning from a dating simulator to a post-apocalyptic narrative. While the epidemic theme resonates with current events, some reviewers find the story to be clichéd and not sufficiently compelling to justify its price. Overall, the narrative is described as good but somewhat unconventional, with a focus on the main plot rather than character development.
“Good story with multi-paths that depend on the choices and lead to slightly different storylines.”
“The game is divided into 2 parts: first a dating simulator and then a post-apocalyptic story where events are based on your choices from the first part.”
“The story about the epidemic world is pretty fitting to the current corona situation but not often set in visual novels, so it is a game feature.”
“The story is not good enough to justify the price; there are too many clichés.”
“The game is divided into two parts: first a dating simulator and then a post-apocalyptic story where events are based on your choices from the first part.”
“Akira and Kannon's story really spoils it, so save them for last because they get more into details about what's going on, but that's just my opinion.”
