Reviews
A very short, but very interesting visual novel. I really only recommend this for fans of the original; if you haven't played the original, you should play it over this one, regardless of the fact that Orientation is a prequel. If you like it, then you'll definitely like this as a bit of an add-on. Otherwise the quality is up to snuff- even if it is painfully short, the plot and written content is engaging enough to justify a purchase.
so that's what we got huh?
As others have pointed out, being a prequel this KN lacks the big conflict that would mark a story normally (like in ep 1). That being said, I liked it. The characters were interesting. Some of the ideas it tackles were fascinating. This is like bread before dinner: enough to sedate my appetite but not fulfill it. I am looking forward to the next VN.
Worth the wait. Nothing too deep, but it's a nice little story with good music and art.
