I used to be very anti VN; in my naivete I thought how boring, just a bunch of clicking and no gameplay. It wasn't until I started playing first City of Broken Dreamers, Our Red String and this game that I changed my mind. I still don't have a lot experience compared to some of you, so I don't know if these are outliers or not, but I think they strike the right balance of not being too verbose, showing vs. describing (important in a visual narrative), and small but engaging minigames to entertain people like me without turning off more traditional VN enthusiast (be what that may). Branching storylines is also important to me, but I think I might be interested in more linear storytelling. Anyways, tl;dr now a convert thanks partially to this game.
