Review -
An interesting game that i will keep my eye on, this is not a typical VN so far.
The good, Renders are solid, writing is solid, game mechanics except for the shifting game are good.
If I were rating this game officially it would be a 3.8 imo.
The story for the most part is good so far, but not great imo, I can see why some would rate it much higher and lower and if the story does it for you I don't disagree with you.
For me the story had some major negatives
First Negative - Veronica, we have been given very little information so far about how the MC met her and how their relationship developed. Currently she is clingy to the point of being annoying. Maybe fairly maybe unfairly but we are given no agency in the relationship. It sucks because every other character so far you get to build a relationship with and decide your interactions.
Second Negative - The EX Wife a good chunk of the dialog is very well written but man this storylines goes dark really fast.
3rd Negative - MC's daughter getting hit by a car, again deep dark storyline. I'm going to leave it at that.
A fairly serious topic VN, which I am sure some will really appreciate and I get it, if that's your type of story.
I am refraining from giving this game an official rating as it is extremely well done overall but the story so far is not doing it for me personally.
Now I am not officially rating this game and lowering it's overall score unfairly but I guarantee I will see at least a few facepalms and angry comments just for stating an opinion.
