So, like everyone has said - its super long, it has a bunch of distinct characters, it's really grindy until you get how the events are triggered, if you like the art style then its the best of the genre, the UI/interactivity is low, the writing is exceptional, its occasionally laugh out loud funny, etc.
BUT.
I used to really really like this game (and i still support it on pateon), but the more I get into it the less I find I enjoy it.
The fundamental problem is that roleplaying as a child-grooming sexual predator is tolerable in games like this - until the writing gets good enough that you actually think about what you're doing. I don't really want to play a game where I'm engaged in the story while also despising the person im playing as.
I get that the unlikeability of the MC is a deliberate choice, but it's a deliberate choice that I'm not really down with and honestly selebus hasn't done anything interesting with the MC beyond "look at me im such a bad person but everyone loves me anyway".
selebus has the emo turned up to 10 and he should seriously consider dialing it back to a 7 or 8.
