This visual novel has an incredible narrative with a lot of potential, but the presentation needs polish. I found myself wanting this game to be more of a traditional novel than a visual one, because the lack of polish in the visuals made the experience anti-climactic at points.

The visuals use cel-shading, a minimalist shading technique that works really well for a visual novel, except the shading is applied to sharp and jagged models. The smooth shading conflicts with the sharp models, models that don't benefit the style in any ways by being sharp. Its not much trouble to get smoother models either, many would argue its actually easier to make a smooth model, than a low-poly jagged one.

Combine the conflicting art style with visuals that don't take advantage of a 3D medium, and it makes everything really anti-climactic. There's a character with her hand clipping through a desk, there's movements depicted through text instead of being animated, there's lack-luster colour usage, and boring camera work that they don't play around with a lot for the sake of the story.

Its not just the visuals that hurt the story though, the music ruins the climactic context of the story equally. There's a theme that plays, and its designed to intensify along with the story, reaching climactic moments with it. Though, after it happens, the theme quiets downs and automatically intensifies for no reason. Its as if the game wants every 10 seconds to be as intense as the shocking moment(s) that came before.

The developers should be ashamed that they charged people for this, I'm just happy they started a 100% sale.
