I'm a huge VN fan and I heard strong things about this game, so I decided to give it a shot since it was like $15 on its release sale (which, sadly, may have expired by now). It was a bit short (10-15~ hours or so), but I was consistently engaged by it. The characters were fun, the mysteries were interesting and satisfying, it had some really cool puzzles, and the themes were surprisingly poignant. I don't want to get into spoilers here (though I'd be up for a discussion if anyone else has happened to play/beat this game, as nobody I know has even heard of this game), but suffice to say, it was a strong one. Not quite one of my favorite VNs ever, as it'd be tough to topple things like Ace Attorney & Fata Morgana from that, but it's up there and I enjoyed it.

dotsdfe 03/28/23 4:11:01 PM #5:	BurmesePenguin posted... What platforms is it on and is there a physical release? Yeah, as mentioned, PC/Switch/Mobile. Of those, I'd recommend the PC version if at all possible. Apparently the Switch version's control scheme has some strange sensitivity issues in trying to match a controller to the mouse controls, but I got it on Steam so I never personally encountered those. --- https://www.youtube.com/user/dotsdfe I make Fire Emblem videos.

BurmesePenguin 03/28/23 4:13:48 PM #6:	That's a shame, but of those platforms the Switch is the only one I game on, so I'll have to live with it. Definitely looks like something I might be into, but also looks like a wait for a sale. <cite>BurmesePenguin posted [p:972474649] in Game/Visua...

Definitely looks like something I might be into, but also looks like a wait for a sale. For what it's worth, the review that I glanced at for the Switch version said playing with a controller felt a bit clunky, but that playing in handheld mode with touch screen controls was perfectly fine. But yeah, I'd definitely recommend keeping it in mind if you love mystery VNs. I'm a big fan of the genre and I wasn't disappointed. --- https://www.youtube.com/user/dotsdfe I make Fire Emblem videos. Sometimes. <cite>dotsdfe posted [p:972474697] in Game/Visua...
