"Sweat, dirt, blood. It all goes in my mouth and makes me want to throw up."
One night, the main character, Kisetsu, sneaks into a mountain forest in the middle of the night in order to bury the corpse for a certain reason.
A snow shovel.
A shopping cart from a supermarket.
And then he wrapped something in a blue sheet and hid it - [that].
Surrounded by “them”, he started digging a hole, was covered with all the sweat and swallowing blood and dirt.
And then...
“What is that…?”
He just realized that there is no end beyond the hole and beyond the tragedy.
This is about “the world” beyond the tragedy.

Reviews
前面节奏缓慢,后期不断反转(很有日式风味),把看似无关的人都连接在一起,虽然结局不尽如人意,但这也很好地反映了现实,没有什么是能如此轻易地改变,只要做好自己想做的便足矣。在探索真相的过程中,能看到季节、夏玲、莉香、六花等人与自己的和解,整体还是让人温暖的。 纯视觉小说,没有任何选项,其实感觉有的地方可以加一下分支。
有趣的故事结构,但是二流内容
值得一玩,剧本精巧有如机械钟,每个人像齿轮一样啮合互相影响构成整个作品;短篇想把什么都讲好很难,例如人物塑造较浅,关系发展奇怪尤其是结尾;行文风格有点特色,荒诞无厘头但又凸显每个人的立场,总评7.7/10
配乐感觉好突兀,故事节奏有点儿太快了,不过反转倒是不断,感觉穿插一些小故事补充人物细节会更好、现在人物关系太突兀了、人物经历该说是荒诞还是现实呢,话说美术明明有出彩的为什么偏偏搞那么多抽象呢
