it goes without saying that a cheeso project is going to be funny as hell. (breaking news, water wet, fork found in kitchen, etc.) but the depth of the characters and the mysteries at the heart of the story REALLY got their hooks in me.
after a few months of playing indie VNs, i was surprised and refreshed to read a piece that i consider classical VN "genre" work - denpa vibes and shady government organizations; science fiction, particularly as it concerns perception and reality; characters with memorable designs, huge, quirky personalities, and painful secrets. of course, knowing you, and knowing that these interests run through all your works, put the hugest smile on my face.
i loved the whole cast, but i especially adored dow, and her friendship with misha. the exchange where misha guesses she needs someone to pick on to feel comfortable, and dow replies, "yeah, and i got a great one this time," made me feel so warm.
and holy shit, did you stick the landing. (spoilers )
i was hooting and hollering playing through this whole thing, but especially the endings. i had to stop talking to my wife so i wouldn't spoil every third thing that happens. the sex was so hot and so fuckin' nasty! the reveal in the "love" route with the FUCKING TEST STICK made me SHOUT AT MY COMPUTER LMFAO. although i enjoyed all the endings (rare for a multi route game!!) "love" was definitely my favorite, i see why you chose it as the "true" route.
somehow i didn't recognize any of the music until marina's theme from mischief makers and i was like huhhh? wuhhh?
i sincerely enjoyed every minute of my playtime. thank you for making this. & thank you for putting a gorgeous fatboy in it, i'm going to report him to HR and then put him in the terrarium where i keep ooishi.
