10/10. TL;DR: I am studying in a psychotherapy and psychology, and this game is therapy. Straight up, that's what it is. Spoilers ahead.




Gameplay: this is a visual novel. you navigate through text that represents the speech of the in-game characters, and make your own choices that represents your speech or actions. there is a point in the game where you play a rhythm hit 'em all segment, but otherwise, it's just a visual novel. But it is only same to other visual novels in terms of gameplay. It is magnificently different otherwise. 3/3

The story: the story describes us, both the protagonist and the player, as a person who struggles with understanding and accepting the rules of the world, such as common sense, reactions of people, the stress everyone brings to each other, and after having failed to understand the things described for a long period of time, we have isolated ourselves in our room, and instead created and imaginary friend, in whom we have secluded ourselves, to protect ourselves from the world which we couldn't understand. Said friend is the poster girl of the game, Lilith. The story is very much choice driven, to the point where the choices you have made, the words you have said in the very beginning shape the ending you reach. The themes discussed are also very prevalent for a person that struggles to understand the world, and thus decides to deny and reject it instead. However, even though the game gets very philosophical at some points, it still reminds the player that it is but a story, that we are reading, while shaping the plotline. The narration is magnificent, the exposition to the worries and anxieties of the main character/player are very well integrated into the text and story, and overall, the game serves itself as not just a story, but a very complicated, yet understandable explanation, of how the world of people works. Brilliant storyline. In the end, whether you decide to break the shell you have secluded yourself in and seek warmth and comfort outside of it, or to remain inside of it, knowing that it will not change, mutate or otherwise become uncomfortable to you, the story that you have sculpted always lets you know, that the choice you have made is only shaped by the opportunity costs of the choices you rejected. 4/4


The Flavor: The voice actresses for both the Chinese language and Japanese language have executed their roles magnificently. The narration of the main characters' (read: players') thoughts is serious, yet doesn't always take itself seriously, showing that the main character (read: player) is human, and in turn, all the characters we have conversed with, are human, still. The style of the visuals, the main menu interactions, and the achievements that you can acquire have their own style to them too, which I, and many others, find adorable. 3/3

Overall, after playing, one can easily tell that the author put their utmost effort into creating this story, and their efforts were not in vain. An amazing game, no, an amazing Experience, that I personally wish I could forget, just so I can experience it for the first time once more.

[if this review gets 100 "useful" tags, I will make a playthrough of this game on YouTube. On god.]
[update: making videos is hard as hell. I dont promise that i will make it soon, but i promise that i will make it.]

i parried a guy’s burst and he told me to kms, 10/10 would recommend

I've had sex. With at least 1 woman. And it's cool... but Ultrakill is cooler.

овервотч, не сопротивляющийся r34
Очень жаль, что верхушка полные долбаебы, и не поняли, что на самом деле это их лучший продукт, и надо было в него инвестировать, а не в блядский смайт. RIP, лучше чем овервотч или марвел ривалс.
