Cygnus leapt talks a lot about things I don't understand, but I think it does so with an intent.
It lets you in. It is raw, it is emotional.
It starts with a premise that you think you understand, but the more you read, the more it twists the expectations you have.
At least that's what I perceived it to be.
The tale is a little silly, as silly as something this sad can be.
There's a tinge of internet talk, there's nonsensical fighting games and characters, there's quotes I can hear Blue yell as we would read the visual novel over discord, there is a very clear "this only exists as a plot device" set up but it feels earned. It feels out there enough to feel good.
The character interactions feel good but I think the writing dabbles too much into therapy speak (simply saying everything that is wrong out loud and what the course of action to mend this could be).
Is it fitting for this kind of story where the included parties are aware of their mental health situations? Yes!
Did it feel good?
I'm giving it a No.
The rawness feels good, it feels earned. With the gall to have no starting screen, no custom UI and only slightly edited backgrounds, the absolutely raw writing works.
It's emotional and honest, but a little bit of extra polish could have worked wonders.
Also a hoorah for slavic yotes in sluttily cropped tops. Your Adidas pants were the MVP espescially at the funeral.
