solidly one of the greatest VNs i've read to date. it's truly incredible to see this tightly, extremely, almost horrifyingly well-designed and just a straight up diabolical story about finding the rules and truths we can bend, habits and tricks to discover about each other; a game that happens to be all about games we play with each other. i geniunely don't see this story being told in a format other than this game, THAT game, THOSE women... it's all perfectly fallen into place.
i had set my eyes on playing ever since the first program logic previews were shared during jamtime - because i still cannot wrap my head around the work needed to get this to work in Renp'y! it only makes it so much more impressive and grand to read into how it plays into building and giving its own context to the plot (gah!!! i haven't even MENTIONED the characters yet!! -and i will not! go play!)
to readers interested, my fears of being a new player to poker were easily dissuaded, so not even that possible barrier can stop you from appreciating this. i cannot reccomend this enough.
