What players say
Pretty good. Wish it was longer and had multiple endings and more content. But I can't really complain since I got it on sale.
1 more review, not recommended
There are spelling/syntax mistakes all over the place. None of the 'choices' you are presented with matter at all. Right at the end Sakuya almost drowns you as a 'prank' with a very blunt "Die." As someone who was going into this experience with heavy suicidal intentions this was not the right way to end the game. I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone else who is going through a similar experience.
