Edit 3: Down to 2/5. I can no longer recommend downloading this. After being all but abandoned we got an update that was basically a backhanded slap to the face, and then right to abandoned town it went. It is a real shame as the game was really really good and showed lots of promise. It is possible that the sheer scale and number of characters was too overwhelming and the dev wasn't able to cope.
Edit 2: Dropping review down to 3/5. This VN had a lot of potential, but the dev has all but abandoned it. Updates take super long to arrive, the content is minimal, previously promised features have never been implemented, and the overall quality has deteriorated. Truly a shame, and a waste of what could have been a great VN.
Edit 1: I dropped my rating down to 4/5 because it seems like the dev has been half-neglecting the project. Releases and new information is spotty at best, and the last release was below the high standard that the VN set itself. I really hope to see the dev get back to working on, finishing, fixing, and polishing this VN because it has very high potential.
Original Review: 10/10. Cannot recommend this game enough! Amazing writing, well designed believable characters, engrossing story (both main campaign and side stories), great sense of humour, funny easter eggs in both the writing and the sound effects, and the most rare of all... actually difficult choices that impact both story and gameplay (sorta... there are some important choices to be made but the karma system isn't online yet). Even the 'game over' screens in this VN are absolutely worth experiencing!
It's still incomplete in both story and certain mechanics (like the phone feature), but the dev is working on it and every single update is a leap in the right direction. It might not get the most consistent updates, but I’d rather be forced to wait a long time before experiencing a masterpiece than getting able to click through garbage on a weekly basis.
