I actually ended up liking this VN a lot. I really enjoyed the artsy short-film vibes, where you can tell the director put careful consideration in the cinematography. Which is definitely a thing in visual novels too. There's also something about their dialogue that feels a bit... deliberately meandering as well. Uniquely foreign (if that's okay for me to say as an English speaker reading this in English). It's good. I think there were several artistic concepts I actually understood too, like the idea of intensely examining the ceiling panels and losing oneself in them after committing a perhaps shameful act of infidelity, or the liminality of a mall being used as a transition between scenes. I think the story that was actually being told here was Markus being gradually eroded out of the story for various reasons, mainly his own faults. First, it seemed like the start of a promising relationship, but then he cheated on his wife. Second, the three of them had an ordinary hangout where Markus' contributions (the berries) were simply discarded. Finally, Markus' role was simply rejected. A time loop, yet a clear sense of progression. I think there's a lot to analyze in this one, but generally I think it's practically made for overthinking reviews like this one so I'll attempt to stop myself here and say that I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for making it.
