The writing is competent and even has some well-executed humorous moments, which is so rare, especially among VNs exploring serious topics.
But I feel like the tension falls flat after the reveal of MC's backstory - the reveal is too heavy-handed and rushed. It was one of the big mysteries of the story, something like that should be delivered through tiny hints throughout the entire story, not in a singular monologue.
p.s. I can't express how much I hate this page's design. Red on black is killing my eyes.
