Reviews
I've been very excited for this as I loved this dev's previous game already, and I really enjoyed it as well! I'm obsessed with the visual presentation; the art is very unique and memorable, I like how it's mostly achromatic with a few colorful accents. Also the character sprites are very expressive and make the characters feel alive in addition to their writing. The soundtrack is fantastic again with a wide variety and establishes an immersive, oftentimes creepy and uncomfortable atmosphere. I found the story intriguing - unconventional and already grim daily life being combined with conspiratorial, supernatural horror is a great premise and I enjoyed the execution! I really liked the characters, they all have distinct personalities, create fun silly moments, and keep the story engaging. The writing itself is great in my opinion, I enjoy the writing style a lot, the way it fluctuates between being casual and cryptic makes the deranged scenes even more eerie. Only issue with it is the notable amount of grammar and spelling errors that could become a bit immersion-breaking, however the dev is willing to work on it, hence after further editing it should be improved. Otherwise the ending felt somewhat abrupt to me and didn't answer all questions, however it also gave the impression of a potential sequel, which seems plausible, considering that this VN is already set in the same universe as the previous one, so I got hopes lol. Altogether it's a lovely VN with a mesmerizing presentation and captivating interesting story!
