I tried the first game and it wasn't really to my personal tastes. It took me a while to buy in to this game but once I downloaded I was immediately taken. The developer has done a great job on using what they learned to improve their game, and I can say without a doubt this is a true masterpiece.
Both of the main characters are likeable while those around them are often not - but not in a way that detracts from the player's enjoyment. The UI and gameplay mechanics are nice, significant but not too over the top. Great balance there.
The dialogue writing is quite good; but where this game truly shines is the story writing, the different progressions with the characters is all very nicely planned out. While at first the transition between protagonists was jarring, you get used to it quickly and it is done elegantly enough to avoid
breaking immersion. Plus it opens up possibilities by allowing the author to foreshadow future events and play around with that whole aspect. Pacing feels very nice, and it seems like the development team are really good at communication and updating fast.
I don't typically review games, especially not incomplete ones, but I'll have to make an exception for this outstanding game. A commendable achievement and in my opinion the best visual novel on the site.
