Across all 115 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

Don't forget to freaking argue on every single word they say and also remember: everyone is your pawn. Everyone is beneath you... And if something isn't working out? It's that person/things fault. Never yours. Oh no, no... Not at all. You are...
Short and sweet vn. There were some typos which isn't uncommon for these types of games. I loved the character development and the visuals were flawless.
