Kinetic visual novel. (Only Main heroine is fully voice-acted.) The year is 2052. In a dystopian future where no one goes outside. Birth rate at an all time low, suicide rate at an all time high.

  • Engaging and interesting story with a cyberpunk theme and emotional connections, especially appreciated by fans of visual novels.
  • Good voice acting for the AI companion, with emotional delivery praised as outstanding.
  • Unique use of AI-generated artwork and voice acting, creating a distinct style appropriate to the game's themes.
  • Frequent technical issues including game lag after 20 minutes, UI problems with menus, and lack of updates for almost a year.
  • Writing quality is poor with repetitive dialogue, grammatical errors, and uneven pacing, making the story feel tedious for some players.
  • Criticism for paywalled achievements in the DLC, questionable pricing for additional content, and lack of adult content despite the story's implications.

  • story

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for being captivating and well-written, with strong voice acting enhancing the experience, especially for the AI companion. However, some users note issues such as inconsistent details, repetitive and slow pacing, grammatical errors, and a protagonist some find off-putting. Overall, it appeals mainly to fans of story-driven, cyberpunk-themed visual novels.

    • “This captivating story is elevated by the superb voice acting, particularly for the AI companion.”
    • “While the narrative itself is well-written (loved reading the story!), I would recommend this visual novel to fans of story-driven games, especially those who enjoy cyberpunk and emotional connections.”
    • “But otherwise a pretty great visual novel story with great voice acting, tone is nice.”
    • “Story okay at best, writing not great (like... really not great), it just goes on and on and on and on, everyone repeats themselves, somehow almost nothing happens, the protagonist is gross the first ten minutes and annoying the rest.”
    • “Not sure about the story, it sure needs grammar checks, few words in a sentence were kind of borked too.”
    • “There's also a story but in the story if I'm not mistaken in the start the main character is 22 but when it's his birthday he's still 22?”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics combine sci-fi and cyberpunk themes but suffer from technical issues that detract from the experience, resulting in a glitchy and repetitive feel, though the artwork itself is decent.

    • “Despite its attempts to blend sci-fi intrigue with cyberpunk aesthetics, the execution falls flat, leaving players feeling like they're caught in a glitchy virtual loop.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's emotional aspect is highly praised for its outstanding AI emotional delivery and well-written narrative, creating a compelling experience that deeply resonates with players. It is especially recommended for fans of story-driven, cyberpunk-themed games seeking meaningful emotional connections.

    • “The AI's emotional delivery is outstanding, leaving me wanting more interaction throughout the game.”
    • “While the narrative itself is well-written (loved reading the story!), overall, I would recommend this visual novel to fans of story-driven games, especially those who enjoy cyberpunk and emotional connections.”

  • gameplay

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is minimal, consisting mostly of clicking through poorly written dialogue, offering little interactive or engaging experience.

    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in this game feels tedious and slow, likened to reading a novel that requires constant clicking to progress each sentence, making the experience more of a repetitive chore than engaging gameplay.

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor is dry and sarcastic, appealing to those who appreciate witty, understated jokes. It may not resonate with everyone but offers a clever, niche comedic style.
