I have never enjoyed a work of fiction that I had no idea what the fuck was happening so much since I watched FLCL. This whole VN gives off a very surreal and ethereal vibe that few others have managed to achieve. Anpu is very entertaining. He's haughty and overly confident while also having the skills and powers to back up that personality. He's got some badass moments. Aeron is a stoic character who nonetheless has a tender side. As you keep reading, you slowly begin to realize he's more relatable than he initially seems. The two's chemistry is pretty entertaining, with both of them constantly challenging each other's natures. The art's also very beautiful. The purple-tinted backgrounds, as well as the character art really hone in on the game's mystical aspects. I actually really like the character designs of this VN, they fit the aesthetic the game's going for. The lore's also interesting from what I can understand. But yeah, I have no idea what happened. I understand bits and pieces, but I feel like a lot of the world-building is too cryptic for me to understand. The prose is also a little rough, which makes sense considering it's a quick English translation of a story written in Polish. It goes from flowery to simplistic at several points, and it hurts the overall quality of the prose. The purple prose also doesn't make sense all the time. Also, this has nothing to do with the VN itself, but the thumbnail for the game's itch.io page sucks. You have all this art in the game, and yet the thumbnail is very simplistic and bland. It doesn't even have the title of the VN. I'd recommend replacing it with more striking imagery. Overall, this was a good read and I'd recommend people read it, especially if they have better media literacy skills than me.
