Is this a continuation from another game? Because if it is, I will retract my review and re-score the game accordingly.
I only ask because I could not get into the story at all. Right off the bat I am texting people who I don't know as if they are significant (even though I have no idea who they are). How about introducing the characters first instead of just thrusting them at me? 
Again, if this is a sequel or something, I will apologize and revamp my review but I felt that I was playing a game starting off in chapter 4 and having no idea what happened during chapters 1-3 beforehand.
I was not a fan of the render style or the dialog either. I really get peeved when I have to click seven or eight times to get through a block of dialog that doesn't even add up to a solid paragraph:
No one.
Talks like this.
In real life.
And they shouldn't talk like this.
In VNs.
Either.
Also, although the dialog was curt, half of what was being said could have been shortened because it seemed to ramble at times (maybe a language barrier?)
Also, I changed the first name of the MC at the beginning of the game, yet the dialog still referred to me as Arthur which was annoying (a bug maybe?). I could honestly only play about fifteen minutes before giving up unfortunately. I can tell a lot of work went into this, so I don't want to just bash the game, but I think it could definitely be streamlined and structured better so that the player can be more comfortably immersed and eased into the story. 2.5/5
