Taking a long time is an understatement lol, the final part/mission/quest alone took 86 minutes of reading and gameplay (without being able to save). Damn what a journey the game's story put me into, in total I think my play playtime is 130-140 hours (The game stopped counting at 99 hours.). The game's story is really good (subjective I know), I've played a lot of RPG and story heavy games (I'm normally not a fan of VN unless it has decent/passable gameplay) and when compared to this game's story it stands out as "decent" or even "better" than some rpg game stories. The narrative of course falls within the standards of "JRPG"
, but this game's story has its own spin on it with twists and turns along the way. One game I can compare this game's writing to is "Fate Stay Night". Both are released originally as an Eroge VN (well this game has significantly more H content compared to FSN) wherein the "selling point" originally is the H content, but the players/readers stayed for the story. I'm also an avid reader of FGO stories, and I can endorse that the story of this game is even comparable to the quality of writing in the Lostbelt stories. At the end of the day these are just the subjective opinions of a random pirate in an Adult forum. I'm interested in further games coming from this developer and if my financial situation improves, I'll be sure to buy their games to support them.
TLDR: Came for the Porn, Stayed for the Story.
