What players say

Players praise the story and characters but warn that the writing starts off overly edgy and the first hour can be a hurdle. The RPG-style combat is unusual for a visual novel and becomes engaging later, though some find it tedious or rage-inducing at the final boss, and there is no option to skip battles.
