I wanted to like this so much, but it ended up being a terrible disappointment.

Our player character, Oracle, was painfully naive and infuriatingly oblivious. They are supposed to be a top hero but they come across as a complete ingenue and totally incapable and uniformed at their job. They are spineless, things just happen to Oracle, they--and by extension the player--barely have any agency at all.

Their relationship with Nik, the male lead, felt shallow and underdeveloped. We're told Oracle had a crush on him for 2 years, but we only functionally see them go on a single date before the supervillain reveal. Nothing about their relationship is compelling or believable. In Nik's routes all I wanted to do was get Oracle off their knees for him and have them be actually angry, but that's only possible in one of Wes's routes.

Nik is one of the most pathetic male leads I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Whilst being a yandere, he still somehow manages to come across as milquetoast. His desperation was beyond unattractive, it actively repulsed me. I kept waiting for the moment when the reason behind his obsession with Oracle was revealed, hoping it would help me click with his character, but instead I was left thinking, "That's it?"

We get very little of Wes, even in his own routes. What little we get from him is more interesting than Nik though. He's more charming and less pitiful, a person outside of his relationship to Oracle. Oracle themselves is a (slightly) less pathetic character in his routes. Still, we weren't given the option to be happy Nik was gone or cut him off completely in the end. I was hoping for a Cristina Yang-esque "I'm free!" moment. Sadly, his routes--and especially his epilogues--are more about Nik than they are about Wes himself.
