I am now writing this for the third time, because this website deletes everything if you click away... Anyway, this story is awful. Every decision made by every character makes absolutely no sense. On top of that, the translation quality changes each release and is frankly unacceptable. When I started writing this, I hadn't finished the whole story, and I was gonna go with 2 stars. But as the story went on I liked this even less, and it became very apparent that nothing was going to improve. There is only ONE decision that matters in this thing, at the very end to shoot or not. And even then getting to that point makes no sense.
This story starts with the cult leader talking cryptically to his assistant about inviting you, the MC, to some event at the cult for a month. Then it cuts to you having sex with some girl that never appears again and the whole time you're talking to her about her brother. Already unappealing and strange right there. Then your aunt comes to your house looking for your dad, which later on you learn you DON'T EVEN LIVE WITH YOUR FATHER. So that makes no sense. And she hates you for no explained reason, and you end up having sex with her. In the beginning MC is set up to be a little asshole that uses and fucks girls, but not at all how it goes. To get to the point, I'll summarize the story first, then air my grievances after.
Essentially, all the problems in this game revolve around something called The Butterfly Project which was just some thing that cloned women to be sex slaves. It was run by your mother, sort of, and one of the clones got angry and escaped and wanted to kill everyone involved with the project. It is never explained why or for what, but your old girlfriend had "the perfect DNA" for something that is never elaborated on. And if it was, it was in one of the untranslated lines of dialog. Anyway, they study her DNA and say "we can't use a clone it has to be her." Which literally makes no sense, because a clone has THE SAME DNA. And later on It turned out she was a clone the whole time. So your brother kills her and takes her body.
That sends MC into a depressive spiral, I guess. The time between her death and the beginning of the game aren't talked about or shown outside of one flashback with Coral, a girl you were "looking" for. Aka you show up to the cult to find her, don't look any more after the first day, then she just shows up one day, for no reason. The cult's goal was to revive the cult leader's mother, I'm assuming either using cloning from the butterfly project, or what they end up using is time travel. The two women with the solutions both wanted Zara, your friend in the cult, but once again, THEY NEVER SAY WHY NOR DO THEY EVER DO ANYTHING WITH THAT. So I couldn't tell you why.
The only characters that actually matter are Ruby, your mother, Nathaniel, your brother, Ranen, the cult leader's sister, Neferet, the angry clone, and Calirroe, another clone. And even then Ruby's character arc isn't an arc but a trainwreck. She shows up with you at the event and hates you for being a pervert. But then she hated you because you went to live with your dad when they divorced. She even tried to kill you. Her whole involvement is leading the cloning process to bring back Jesabelle. But then one night she tries to kill herself again (she tried to do it after finding your dad cheating on her) because suddenly she feels bad about being mean? Then after that, she has nothing to do with the main story and tries to rekindle her relationship with her kids but then you just end up having sex.
Nathaniel is your brother, that killed your gf, and at first tries to make things right. He says sorry, even tries to get your mom to say sorry. But then when your sister approaches him, he threatens to kill her and one sentence later says "I hope we will be better together." He's all over the place. From villain to lending an olive branch, to villain again constantly. Then when Ruby wants to make him take responsibility for murder he tries to send her to another time, which you interrupt. Then you fight and have the option to kill him and no matter what you choose, later on the game just says you kill him. Then you get a timeskip of TWO MONTHS where you could have solved all of the side stories with three short conversations.
Ranen's whole story is just trying to get her mom back, which is the catalyst for meeting all of these characters. She acts like a villain but gets nicer because you do things for her. Nothing special. Neferet, like I said, is an angry clone trying to kill everyone for some reason she has super powers and gloves that let her travel through time as well. She wants to kill all of the clones and people doing the cloning. But right after she says that, goes back on her convictions and only wants to kill Calirroe because she didn't like that Neferet killed people in self defense. Supposedly because the gloves corrupted her.
Then finally there's Calirroe, she shows up to help you travel through time for Ranen. She was a clone but was meant to be the head scientists dead daughter so she wasn't used and abused. Ultimately, she falls in love with you at first sight for no good reason, is the cause of everyone's problems and I don't get why MC falls for her. There is a brienf love story between you and her. She says she loves you, but you say that you already had your one true love and dont want another relationship, then suddenly you just decide to try dating her. Then you find out she was the one that ordered your brother to kill your girlfriend and killed Ranen's mother, which ISN'T EXPLAINED AT ALL. Just that she did it. And after you learn that she is why Aadya, the gf is dead, you just accept it and move on? Then in the NEXT SCENE she's killed and you want revenge for her? Are you serious?
Can you see why this story is bad? The person to blame for killing the one person you loved is killed and you get mad about it because you had two decent dates with the girl. And the 12 other characters I didn't mention are just receptacles for your penis. There's a side story with Christopher trying to find his sister, who is LITERALLY IN A ROOM DOWN THE HALL. But you don't salve that for another 8 months. And Coral is stuck in a room for 6 months because you don't have a different 3 minute conversation with Ranen. And I'm not the only one who doesn't care about the characters. The writer doesn't either. The names and pronouns are messed up constantly. Ranen gets called "Ramen" more than once, and another character Abril gets called "April" more than her actual name. I'm sure part of it is due to the crappy translation, but it's still unacceptable to sell this as a finished product. And the "True" ending is you killing Neferet because it advertises a next game. That I'm guessing stems off the fact that you find her at the wrong point in time and kill her after she has a kid. Another stupid decision.
I'm sure my synopsis is a little disjointed, but as I said I've tried writing this three times now, so I am not having it. Next time have someone to actually translate the game or at least someone to proofread and edit a machine translation. Even better, don't just drop this and pay someone to do that to this game.
TLDR - The story is bad and there is so much sex to distract you from bad writing. Every time you're about to advance the story or learn anything one of the character stops and shouts "I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO" and runs away. If you just wanna see sex, skip the story and look at the scenes.
