It made me experience feelings I never thought possible from a video game. If you like this type of genre, or are looking for a one of a kind gaming experience, this is a must. Unfortunately I can't talk about the best part of the game because it's one of those where the less you know the better. Expand

    The best and most depressing game ever. You really should read the warning before playing

My main criticism is that if you play the PS4 version on a PS5 console, it is prone to crashing. It crashed about 10 times in 50 mins for me. Very frustrating but thankfully there's an autosave feature. Expand

    I played this on PC before, and it was a very worthy experience.
    The appeal of this game, is the fact that behind what seems to be a otaku dating sim, there's something deeper (if you manage to get past the boring first 2 hours).
    The experience on PC is by far the optimal way to approach this game, for some reasons that you'll understand after playing it, so if you can choose one, take it on PC.

    That being said, this port is far from optimal. Just playing casually, the game has crashed >10 times which is more than 1 crash per hour. I don't know what was so difficult to program for a game where 99% of the content is text, a static image on the background and some music. This poor execution is my biggest complain.
    Other issues I had, is the fact this version has a minor censorship, which is nonsensical on a M rated game, BUT is even worse because a few seconds later, you can see on the next image exactly what they censored.

    Lastly, this version has some additions from vanilla version, which I didn't personally liked. But that's up to you. Like I said at the beginning, what make this game great, is that's not (only) about some cute anime looking girls dating sim. But the narrative on this game is boring and all the extra content is about that, a thing that I'm not really into. I get that they tried to expand the characters and background, but I saw just half of the side content because I was literally falling asleep.

    Tldr; play this but on PC, because it has no replayability and it'll be sad to ruin your first experience on a non optimal version. And avoid looking for any info, because you can get heavy spoilers just on titles or thumbnails on Google or YouTube. Just play it if you're curious (you can even get it legally for free).

    This game is for people who have never played visual novels or people that think cheap, gimmicky tactics make for a classic game.

    The writing
    This game is for people who have never played visual novels or people that think cheap, gimmicky tactics make for a classic game.

    The writing is mediocre (some of the exposition reads like Reddit comments) and the character designs are plain. The game is nothing but tropes, so again, if you’ve never seen these tropes in manga/anime/visual novel, the game might appear to be original.

    Again, the game relies on gimmicks. Since the author couldn't craft a decent story, he relies on shock value. You’ll know the scene when you get to it. You can’t replace good writing and a good plot with a couple of shocking CGs. Sorry, but this game is not a classic visual novel. It’s a gimmicky game that exploded thanks to popular gaming YouTube channels streaming it.

    Also, the PS4 version crashes consistently. I played through a few times and experienced five crashes despite having the most recently updated version.

    I hate to be so hard on the game. The creator seems like a good dude, and the game
    helped visual novels become more popular in the west.
