Have you ever played a game that probably tried to hard to do to much? That's the impression I was left with after completing the game. It starts out as a rom-com visual novel, then goes in a darker, post-apocalyptic direction incorporating a rhythm mini-game for combat sequences. The art was well done, and utilizes the E-mote system that makes the sprites move move a little, though personally I'd have preferred static sprites if it could have increased my fps, which ran low throughout the game. Music was very well done, as was the voice acting. The translation to English was great. So why not recommended? A lot of little things that added up to pushing an otherwise enjoyable VN over the edge. There are a number of heroines to run with, but one play through is spoiler enough to not make me want to see what other routes offer. As of this time, I've only done one run through and am debating taking another shot. I'll change this I run another route and it's different enough to warrant more play, which is what I'd expect from a VN costing as much as this one did. A MC who you just wish you could climb into the game and throttle for being such a spineless wimp. The fps problems. The huge size (I've yet to run across a VN taking up 25 GB of space), A combat/rhythm game that got boring very quickly (though it can thankfully be skipped). Achievements that don't trigger. So, if you can pick it up on sale and are ok with a rather slow moving game and it's shortcomings, maybe give it a shot, but I wouldn't recommend for full price.
