My only disappointment came when the credits movie started to roll and it was over... but that song... I could loop that song for hours. As I write this after having played through a third time to get the 'ultimate' scene after the finding the second ending, I'm just sitting here listening to the menu song over and over. Excellent audio design.
In this day and age of political and cultural pandering it was so refreshing to see a naturally building story, characters with actual depth and growth and poignant discussions that weren't preachy/out of place but felt like something these two would actually be interested in. I cannot stress enough how enaging this story was, and I am probably not the target demographic. ;-)
The artwork detail was immaculate. The settings were so fleshed out and believable. I may have felt a need for more expressive reactions from characters sometimes is was hard to read the emotion but often the subtlety was spot on. Even your adult content was classily portrayed and the writing took it where it needed to go.
I think that most of the critics of this project are going to be those who were approaching it as just another eroge VN title, which is unfortunate.
I've seen mention of the possibility of a Vol. 2 in the future and I have high hopes. I am really struggling to find a fault with this game... the visual style, the writing, the music... this VN was one of the most immersive things I've experienced in a while.
Thank you for the journey. I can't wait to see where you go next.
