Best VN in the AVN genre. It's melodramatic, a kinetic novel, and includes a lot of pan-polyamory so it's not going to be for everyone - but for those whom it is for, you're in for a hell of a ride.
The writing is genuinely fantastic, for any genre of media. A lot of philosophy, emotional depth and maturity, and a very ambitious storyline that remains (mostly) cohesive and coherent. Characters are distinct, intelligent, and very well designed.
The devs are clearly talented. They're putting out substantial updates on schedule. It's anime-styled koikatsu, but heavily modified, very well executed, and both the quantity and quality of renders is impressively well done. There are no static images with paragraphs of dialogue to read through on top of them. There is a sense of cinematography here, with subtle character expressions and atmospheric shots doing a lot of the storytelling.
It's more story-focused than many other AVN's, but that's not a detriment at all. It does mean that it takes a little longer for the A portion to start flowing, but when it does it is all the better for the build of anticipation, the fact that it feels earned and a part of the character progression makes it all the hotter.
The soundtrack is great, though I preferred the instrumental over the added vocals. Dev composed some of the tracks, and the other song selections are eclectic and carry a great emotional range.
The devs are in the process of adding animations to earlier scenes, so even the quality of what is already released is continuing to improve.
I could go on, but others already have. Easy five stars. Absolutely worth the time if this seems like something you'd be interested in.
Please support this dev, they deserve recognition for their work.
