I think this actually is one of the best visual novels out there, like, it's so well thought-out, all three routes are well developed and I think the whole puppet troupe is actually really unique and impressive! I played Unum's route first, and I think it's the best choice if you want to get used to the world before jumping into the deep lore. His route is actually really calm and I loved the fact that we have literal soul babies with him! Since it was my first run, it helped me figure out the world and enjoy it more without focusing much on the external issues that the garden had. Moving onto Nulla and his route, I enjoyed it! Since he's the only one to show constant genuine affection and love for us throughout the whole run, it made him feel a lot more human and relatable which I suppose is his whole thing. I had an inkling that our puppet had a mind of it's own since in the previous run it did try to plant a lot of doubt in the MC even when it genuinely was a cute moment between the MC and Unum, and in Nulla's route it pretty much confirmed it. As for Septem... I entered his route without high expectations since it was the last one and his design wasn't exactly my type, but wow. It shocked me. The first half was.. something. But from the second half on when we actually get to merge with him? Yeah, he gets ten times more likeable. And we get to meet Musae ( Father) and we get even more world building! This game exceeded my expectations by a mile, the world building, the care that was put in all the characters, the interactions with the main three and their respective routes.. genuinely a solid 10/10!! I'm waiting for next act just to see how this whole plot unfolds!!
