The story has a mix of strengths and weaknesses, with some players appreciating its intriguing themes and character designs, while others criticize the lack of character development and a rushed conclusion. Many felt that the narrative started slowly, only to pick up later, but ultimately left them wanting more depth and resolution. Overall, the potential for a compelling story is evident, but execution issues detract from the experience.
“A short visual novel (3 hours) but well written; maybe a little slow at the start, but after 3 short chapters, you'll be immersed in the story.”
“The story is really fascinating, and the characters are quite charming.”
“Like a few other stories I've read lately, the idea of a villain or what is 'wrong' is really more complicated than your standard video game story.”
“There are character interactions that don't make sense, developments that don't go anywhere, and the story is rushed to a shoddy open-ended conclusion before you can blink.”
“Having played through and reached all 3 possible endings in this visual novel, the game started out too slowly as a typical school life drama and only after episode 5 out of 9 possible episodes did it build more suspense and thriller and develop as a mystery visual novel. There are only 1-2 choices to make in the entire game which are near the ending and lead to a different ending each.”
“There was definite potential here, but there are just too many things holding the story back.”
