I was super excited to play this VN, not gonna' lie.
The Good:
I love the aesthetic. The very beginning of the game has a like, cheesy movie vibe to it, with the whole "introduce the cast" thing, and I adored that.
It's a VN that never takes itself too seriously as well, and you gotta' respect that aspect.
The character models are great. They don't look 100% flawless all of the time, which is a plus to me, because who does, IRL?
Something about the quests and how they're introduced really appealed to me. It triggered some sandbox nostalgia for me when I'd wander in somewhere and get hit with a new quest screen.
I love the paranormal/horror aspects of the game so much. We need more horror VNS!
The Meh:
The energy meter is pretty annoying, but I played with a mod on, so it was never too big a deal for me. I'd highly recommend anyone do the same to avoid frustration.
Everything leads to sex. Yeah, I get it's an adult VN, but it still gets a bit redundant.
The English could use a bit of work, not the worst, but not the best either.
The Bad:
This game is absolute death to my laptop for some reason, which is weird. The main menu is especially harsh.
The title of the VN is a little too on-the-nose. Kinda' dates the game a bit from the jump, imo.
Overall:
A clunky, but fun game. Would give it 5* but I'll knock one off for the slight flaws the game does have, and for it almost bricking my laptop anytime I run the thing.
5* potential, though.
Edit: Rating bumped down to 3* for having random game over screens (ones without continues. You literally have to reload from your last save. And heavy NTR. Though they are just dream scenarios, an NTR tag should really be added here.
3*
