its going rather good for the first hour of its content i didn't like the fact that they used sound of tardis or something realy simillar to it. story has some common lines in it but its still interesting. the character is alright you can emphatisize with the main character with ease it has enough self-dialogs to get in his mind but the enterance to the storyline is rushed a bit good visual novel 7/10

The Agony strikes me as a visual novel that had a good amount of potential. It has an interesting back story, some interesting characters and a good amount of choices but overall it doesn't put it all together.

Many of the characters were well written but just go away with no explanation...
