Did you ever wonder how stories die? It's not hard and it's certainly not art. You just have to kill them. With a rather bad storytelling, tons of mistakes, continuity issues, missing or too many words and a very broken save system. You know it's bad when even the process of saving the game is a frustrating, luck-based experience. I'll go over the many flaws in detail in a moment, but first let me mention the few things that weren't terrible. The music is great and the characters look beautiful, featuring many different facial expressions. The story has a few good or funny moments. Occasionally. It's not a bad experience from start to finish, just something where the cons outweight and thus I can't recommend it. Okay, here we go. [b][u]1. Mistakes:[/u][/b] Biggest issue. This game covers the whole range of errors, from continuity (arms becoming hands, "sacred mouse" tavern becoming "sacred rat") to grammar mistakes and even featuring whole words missing (or too many of them). It's a pain to read through. [b][u]2. Saving[/u][/b]: How could he mess up such a simple thing as saving the game? You can select a slot to save - in theory. But then a box pops up where you can name/rename the slot and confirm the choice. Now the problem is that you have to move the mouse in order to interact with said box. And by moving the mouse, the selected save slot in the background also changes. By the time you confirm the save, only god knows which slot will actually be selected for saving. It's very random, frustrating and sometimes had me overwrite existing save slots even though I wasn't anywhere near them. [b][u]3. Storytelling[/u][/b]: Particularly uninspired, taking existing stories and implementing them 1:1), Most characters act pretty much the same. No one recognizes their own prince and everyone is condescending, insulting or plain a pain in the ass - including the girls in the 3 routes. Sure, they have some unique traits here and there, but also way too many similarities. It feels like the writer wasn't very good at creating distinct personalities, so up to a point they feel like dfferent versions of one and the same character. I'll finish with a list of my "favourite" typos/errors, so you'll be the judge on whether or not this game is something worth reading. [i]"I was so fast couldn't even here myself screaming." "My was act is pretty convincing, right?" "Can't you smell that that?" "Riko made a soar face" "I sword the dagger to the ground." "I suppose I won't mind won't hearing it." "How wrong I was wrong when I said that..." "With a great whooosh, like breaking the itself, Nozomi jumped up in the air."[/i] And last but not least: [i]"Sore wa chigau zo."[/i] (?)

Adding to what the top review says, this is most definitely a $20 VN for free. Great soundtrack, fun characters and a nice true ending that wraps everything up as a whole. If you're a fan of VN's give it a try. My only complaint (which is just nit-picking at this point) is that I feel some scenes would be stronger with more CG's. But given this piece is free, I cant dock it. Also, kudos for the author for making this game. There would be some scenes which I would never have conceived, good on them for thinking of those lines to make the plot more engaging. Overall, thank you to the publisher for making an amazing free VN and give this game a try :)

Funny, twisted and you can't tell what's next. The game was interesting from the start. With the gangster white rabbit it is a "Horace in Wonderland" wild takeoff. Beautiful art.

Ever heard of the word ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Well this game is the very definition of that. If you have never been fked before, then worry no more. This is the fk for you.

Actually an amazing game, would have paid 15$ for something like this. Music is great, engaging story, and definitely unexpected plot twists. All in all, 9/10.
