What players say
Fun, but rather short game. If you plan on going beyond the main story, it will get boring rather quickly. I tried to 100% it, but it's just way to much work to keep doing one repetitive activity over and over.

A cute yet dark game, I enjoyed it. The art and character designs were unique, and I appreciated being able to choose male versions of the demons to summon instead. The gameplay was fairly intuitive, and I was even able to get all the endings and 100% the 'cheeves with some effort and time.
Overall it is a good visual novel game. Actually i expecting more in management gameplay in this game, but realized this game is more visual novel game.
