Атмосферна та цікава візуальна новела з якісним сюжетом та цікавими персонажами. Не соромтесь заглянути в файли гри, там є трохи бонусів) Однозначно рекомендую!

I love, love, love this VN. It makes me feel a mix of sadness, mystery, longing, and slight uneasiness that is blended just right to be a delectable treat. The feeling of desperation and madness of the MC was captivating and executed quite well, really elevating the story by making me feel immersed. The way the characters especially were handled was just amazing, with Acine knocking it out of the ballpark. She doesn't neatly slot into either camp of "she did care for him" or "she is just an unfeeling program", which makes her character and relationship with the MC that much more interesting. In some ways, it kinda reminded me of the Infinity Chamber movie, which you should check out if you enjoyed this VN. I really hope we get to see more of this universe and writer, because I immensely enjoyed what was shown here.

I enjoyed the story on this one. The vibe and atmosphere alone were fantastic, and I was disappointed only by how short the game was.

Дуже чекаю продовження

I've played a total of 8 minutes of this god forsaken visual novel and I'm already uncomfortable. It feels like the self insert of a hikikomori incel. If you're thinking "oh, the art is so pretty, maybe paying 97 cents is worth it!"... Don't, I made the same mistake. It's also riddled with spelling mistakes and pointless repetitions. I might try finishing it, but only to see how bad it gets, I'll update this review if anything particularly heinous happens. As a positive, the art is really pretty so far, and so is the UI. If only the story matched in quality...

This was a really great short story that I enjoyed very much. The topics that are brought up have a lot of depth to them. The certain endings really make me wish there were more to the story. If you like visual novels, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up.

This was super atmospheric and thought provoking. Makes you want to know more about this setting. I love the dynamic between MC and Acine

Had this on my wishlist for a while and now that I've played the game I'm disappointing I didn't get it sooner. I really enjoyed the depth of the dialogue, the art, and the music. I hope that in the future the creators doesn't shy away from covering 'unsavory' topics like the one that was in the demo but cut from the main prologue. All in all, good VN, here's hoping the creators can keep making them in the future.

I'm usually not one to review games, but I quite enjoyed this story and I want to do what I can to help spread the word about it, so here's a couple of my thoughts. The world building I found very interesting. It's drip-fed through the character interactions in a way that gives some ideas of what the world was like before and how advanced society was before it all collapsed, but doesn't overdo it, and leaves plenty up for speculation. There's also plenty to be seen in even the smallest of details, like all the chalk drawings around the room portraying a lively and lived-in air to the place, subtly showing that at one point that Kenzo was an innocent child playing around in this room with practically no supervision or limitations. This ties in well with how the game explores the idea of human psyche. Being completely isolated from people your whole life, with only an in-development AI and general social simulations, leads to a warped understanding of people, "norms", and a lot of other things. CELL is able to capture this idea pretty well in the character's dialogue/interactions with each other, really adding to the strength of the story and immersion. The one real issue I have is that the sentence structure and grammar can be a bit awkward at times. You can look over most of it by considering that the characters themselves may not speak clearly due to the circumstances, but it can make it hard to understand what was said. Either way, I really enjoyed the read and I can't wait to see how this is continued in the next game.
