So I've played about half the game so far (I think?) and it's been really fun! Getting to know the characters and how they have developed since the beginning has been really great. Noriko's arc from self servient to caring about others a little and even changing her life for arguably the better is a really interesting, fun and great story arc so far. Koji, Shinji, Tomoe and Aoi also have fun stories about them and been fun to get to understand and get to know their characters.
But there are points where I feel like their character traits are overridden for the sake of the story. For example Tomoe figuring out that Nori was Corpse Girl so suddenly and so fast with loose threads that she thought of in the moment plus her willingness to help Nori so fast with the bodies even though the player gets to find out about her empathetic and softer side and even hears her say that she doesn't want anything to do with Corpse Girl anymore. I kind of feel like there was a step back in her mini character arc with that. But I still think she is a great part of the story who adds to the personalities and is a good bounce between all the characters.
Another part which I think is more apparent is that the choices that the player makes are also completely overridden. Like at one of the very first choices to help or leave Aoi, I chose to help her and she immediately went into a fit of rage, but at the very next scene, the story continues on like that never happened and never has addressed that choice till now. Aoi's personality foes back to before the confrontation and her outburst seems to have vanished from the story itself. There is one or two more instances of this happening that I do not remember off the top of me head but I do understand that it is difficult to take into account every single action or choice for the story, I still feel like a moment like Aoi's should at least be mentioned if not change the story somewhat due to the impactful nature of it from finding out what's been happening to her.
But despite that, I think that the writing and voice acting is really great! The voice actors used seem to really suit the characters well and the writing is descriptive, sets the tone and narrative well and the plot changing and keep expectations different really is going well! Can't wait to find out more of what's happening and to see what's going to go on, so really great job on the story and everything in the game so far! Also love how the title screen changes as you play more of the game, I think that's pretty cool and adds to the whole immersion of playing the game!
