What players say
This was quite the pleasant surprise; I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did tbh. The beginning was a bit confusing, but the overarching mysteries and endearing relationships and characters pulled me through, and I'm glad they did. Ibuki is one of the more compelling female protagonists in visual novels that I've encountered so far; she's blunt, paranoid, single-minded, but also surprisingly passionate...
Game so good makes me want to time travel back 2 days ago and experience this game all over again.
Fantastic VN. One of my personal favorites. Very strong recommend. Go in as blind as possible. You will not be disappointed.
