What a strange VN. Truthfully, I'm not sure I understand what it actually means, but what I can say is it actually got me to reread it to try to understand it, so there's something intriguing enough about the concept to get me to do that. There's plenty that's left unexplained until the end, but from what I can gather, BF is a TV program that makes viewers artificially happy? The MC and his father seem like addicts, the father especially, but then the other characters, who seem more well-adjusted, also mention using BF to adjust their own emotions. I can only assume they're on some newer model, while for whatever reason the MC is stuck on the older one, hence the pity. So, lots of questions here. Still, the story is told in an intriguing way, with some dramatic reveals and good art being used to reveal some key moments. I especially liked the contrast with the realistic way the father is drawn toward the end. The scene after the dropped groceries is also well written, eliciting some strong emotions and imagery, especially given the shadow against the door revealing Chappy's tall silhouette. All in all, a confusing but powerfully emotional VN. I liked it a lot.
