This game should be the prime example of how to write a superhero story, at least in the adult visual novel genre, the characters, the backstory, the models, the writing, all of it is superb. I think this game was inspired by some other games before it in the genre, but in my mind, it has already surpassed it, and the main plot of the story hasn't even fully gotten off the ground and we haven't been introduced fully to all of the main members of the game yet. I truly enjoyed it and hope the dev knows they have something special here.
Updated to .5 - I think this game is still very good, but I do think the MC is along for the ride instead of dictating how the story goes, even if there were some good choices in this episode. What I mean by that is that things HAPPEN to the MC, MC doesn't carve his path at any point. He doesn't go, today I want to do blank, he just is a lightning rod for things to happen to him,. That not necessarily is a bad thing in a vacuum, but in a game where everything happens to you, the choices matter less. I know branching paths are a bitch but I think it would be good to see some initiative from the MC.
