DollhouseIRL rated Soultaker

A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

I absolutely adored this. The sprites were excellent and gave the characters a strong sense of personality and, in the case of the witches, awe and more than a little mystique. I also particularly liked the CGs; they were lavish and really elevated the VN. The world was very lively with an amount of whimsy to it that was a delight to me. I enjoyed learning bits and pieces here and there about what witches and magic are in this setting, what's possible for it, and enough was left unsaid about it that I still feel there's more out there to know.  

The story was a good slice of what's possible within this world; I could honestly have read Renny dealing with colorful clients for a good bit more time (which is not me saying the VN needed to be longer). The ambiguity as to whether or not Renny is a charlatan or genuine was a strong choice and, while I think I know where this VN comes out on that subject, I can't be entirely sure. I did admittedly find the use of the reader as an introductory client strange and something I'm not sure contributed but that's a minor issue, all told. This was definitely a favorite for me.
