How it feels
A slow-paced, narrative-heavy visual novel that feels like a somber theological pilgrimage through a decaying, mythic city.

What players say
Players call it a chuunibyou visual novel with breakneck pacing and flashy battles. The story places a Japanese high school in purgatory, and reviews split on whether the tone shifts between comedy and drama work. Some compare it to Fate/Stay Night, while others say the romance feels underdeveloped.
