I'm gonna get the pros out of the way first:
- Great art, this game is beautiful
- Great mechanics (some variations which is nice to see in a visual novel)
- The voice acting they recently added is good

The big con:
- The writing
It's way too repetitive for a game this short. I understand wanting a powerful message, but if every scene is just the same thing over and over again, it just weakens the message and makes your characters seem bland. Since it's supposed to be the strong point of a visual novel, I really can't recommend it.

Storyline

"──We cannot choose in this unfair world. Hao-Chen Jiang did not understand what it was when he opened his eyes. Before him was a dim and dreary room that he had not seen before. Trying to get up to turn on the lights, he finds that his arms are tied behind him and that is when he realizes that he's been kidnapped. It is then that a mysterious girl appears before him and with a look of disdain tells him that he's been kidnapped and unless his family agrees to pay a ransom he has no chance to escape. But perhaps there is more to this than just money... The rich boy stuck in his never changing daily life... The fierce girl struggling for survival... Two people in totally opposite positions in life. During his days of imprisonment, they will learn of a world they were never aware of which will crumble away at their deep-rooted prejudices. In the face of confusion and the choices before them, what will they find...?"
