Another awesome visual novel! The story has some really interesting layers. Nina's a really cool protagonist, and PB has some interesting layers to his motivations. The environment design to the rooms is really pretty!
I especially love the vibes of the dance floor, and the refrigerator room. I really fell into the puzzle game atmosphere once I saw the weird machines in there :3 The lounge of course is perfect too. Potentially the highest plushie count in any of your games yet!
Like all puzzle game settings, it does become funny to imagine the workers going about their day with the security measure in place... why have a blood scanner to your own office that, instead of sorting which people are allowed in, lets ANYONE in as long as they know their blood type? But again, this is a non-issue because it's fun gameplay
I really like that the noisrev world has a unique blood type system. They seem to primarily be named after different shades of red, but "lady" throws me for a loop XD Maybe it's short for the name of a red plant like rasp and toma?
[I'm chattering a bit about the plot below here while trying not to spoiler anything too important. Hopefully the page break will come into effect anyway]
The returning cast is all really good, especially Maggie and Mary, whose designs are so cute. All of your outfit designs are awesome, but Mary's cute hat really makes me happy.
It's interesting seeing both of their less kind character traits come out in the game compared to games where they are protagonists, considering theyre friends with PB and know what he's up to.
Their own games do leave room for them to be less than morally perfect. They both wind up brushing paths and befriending people with less than stellar reputations for violence, although they aren't active participants themselves. It makes sense that the world has a way of wearing down their morals, and hey. Snitching to the police is never as cool as having a murderer bestie!
Something I noticed is that in the cycle continues ending, the woman PB meets has the fish fin/gills that are often short-hand representations for mermaids... and sirens. Could it be that PB is a magnet for maneaters? Or he's intentionally seeking them out? Well, the other two victims listed are a "horse" and a "beta fish"... there are some mythical predatory horses, but I don't know about beta fish. It may just be that I'm reading too much into it.
