The plot is something fresh, different from all the others as far as I know, and the writing is of good quality. That would make it at least a 4.5 stars, but its strength make it a problem when considering the medium they chose to deliver.
It is too text heavy for RPGM, missclick once and you'll lose a whole chunk of text (every dialogue box is filled to the brim) and there's no way of getting it back.
I understand that the battle mechanics and exploration make RPGM a viable choice, but it becomes so in detriment to the good narrative and the story being told. Unless some improvements are made here to make the text aspect (which is the strongest one in this game) a more palatable experience, I don't think this will be a top tier one.
Also, because of the battle and exploration aspects, replay gets a bit cumbersome causing another problem, since there are split paths and multiple playthroughs are required to fill in the gallery. I'm more of a completionist that like having everything unlocked, but the time and effort required of this game made me of two minds.
All in all, an entertaining game if you're waiting for your watched ones to update, but due to RPGM limitations, not one to become part your wishlist.
