Huge review incoming
The group is fun thats for sure! I liked the game for sure. The idea is a cool one, I saw the idea of "serial killer dates thriller writer" before so its fun to see it actually be put in action. Misaki is literally perfect and so is V (most fun ending). I really like Ronin too I'm just a bit confused.
My fav parts: Customizing an avatar is always fun!, The characters are all pretty distinct when you start doing their routes, theres voice acting and it sounds nice, side characters are semi-relevant and you get to interact with them independent of your romance plot, inner dialog is funny, the game LOOKS very nice, multiple buttons stay interactable even after plot relevancy which makes me stay feeling like i really am in a discord server, the characters peridocally change their bios, diversity to sexuality and gender without making it a big deal (both the player and characters), multiple endings, lots of settings to mess with if needed. Lots of good stuff!
Other parts: I'm still confused on a few things like: Ronin's exact backstory, I wish that was explained through the players inner dialog or something because the way he talks made it a bit confusing to understand even after playing his route a few times. When they started joking about Angel being a canibal, it felt strange that our character wasn't explained why she was called that and i felt i only had enough context clues for it near the end of her route (unless i just missed it) and I get it was sorta the point but I didnt feel very close to Angel more like friends than anything due to the way her route goes and I'm not sure you want that in a dating game. V saying to reach out if something is bothering you in his bio but his whole thing is being prickly to the other members of the server and literally interrogating you asap feels really strange. And in general everyone being so kind and... normal? feels a littleee strange. I wish their was a little bit more quirkyness from the cast instead of all kindness lol. And last I wish I knew a bit more about the backstories from the background characters because they are around enough to referance their pasts to each other but the player isn't given any real knowlege on a few things (the history of luka, felicite, and ai hua), lack of body diversity.
Anyway sorry if this was to long overall I really like the game I'd recommend it!
