Going into this story, I didn't know what to expect. Cliches? Gory horror? Shallow emotion?
No, what I was shown was truly, an unmistakable work of art.

From the moment we open up, mystery is sprinkled into the story and later helps us develop a sense a humor for the game, along with the rest of the lead cast. Each character is different, carrying their own burdens, fears and insecurities, allowing you to sympathize with all of them. The story the main character gets caught up in, along with his love interest, is emotionally compelling and has you on edge in every scene. All the twists, obstacles and fights keep you on the edge, pushing you to read on more, addicting you to this beautifully crafted story.

The score is the second half of what makes this VN so beautiful, without each other, the visual novel would be half as good. 
The soundtrack, to put it simply, is beautiful. The perfect piano, guitar and lo-fi music for each scene, along with the humorous music needed to make us laugh at the right time.

I am going to be frank, no visual novel has managed to make me feel such emotions that this one did.

Mr. Shirokoi, you are a master at writing. Please, never stop.
