I usually don't play visual novel games, but this story was very entertaining and made me finish in one sitting
I enjoyed reading this visual novel! It is well-made, it has a great aesthetic. I really like the artwork for the characters! The worldbuilding was fascinating and left me wanting more details, because I got the feeling this only scratched the surface of the underlying world. The characters are likeable and I was rooting for all of them. The ending was difficult to choose!
A great story set in a very interesting world.
this one's for the weirdgirls out there but also stands as a compelling work of romance and cosmic horror. do you like yuri? computer? meat? i like this concept of nation as a toy for inscrutable gods
Enjoyed the narrative and its unorthodox structure. Took a bit to understand what was going on, but it’s by design. I’d love to eventually discuss the story on the “Discussions” page once more people play it.
