I actually want to review this Visual Novel because it was outstanding in my opinion. But due to it's "special design" I can understand that some people may not share this opinion with me. Special design? Well aside the most beautiful VN artwork I've seen in a game, the characters and the most ingame backgrounds have their own kind of style. Especially with some backgrounds being rather close to real pictures instead of artwork. I do say that it got me disappointed a little bit but due to the great artwork I found peace with it. On the musical side I do like it quite much with 2 things to highlight in my opinion. First: I DO LOVE IT when the text says " a window shatters " for example and suddenly the noise appears. It gives the feeling you are actually right there while reading into it. I really appreciate that. Second: This one is a lil tricky because I cannot really decide wether I rate this point as good or bad. Some music tracks in this VN have vocals. The tracks themselves are beautiful. But this was the first VN for me that played voiced background music which got me a little distracted from the reading part. So the tracks themselves are cool but I still think in the middle of an emotional situation or an exciting situation a melodic background music would fit better than a vocal one. Story wise its kindahard to make some points without spoilers but I can do it. This game has multiple endings which all had their kind of special theme to it. Each of them depending on the choices you take throughout the game. The story itself is kinda mysterious and builds up slowly with confusion and late explaination. But it does puzzle together very well and results in an outright increndible story. Each ending, each story arc and chapter, they all feel very special with their own kinds of twists, mystery and excitement. Once you complete all the endings and understand the whole thing, it's one of the most beautiful stories that I've read so far. ( at least thats my opinion ). The translation seems good aswell. Even though the english seems a bit rusty, you can read it without problems. It does feel like you could re-write some phrases with "more advanced" english but in the end I found peace with it aswell. So overall I did enjoy this game alot! And I would recommend you to take your time and get into it if you will be purchasing it. It's a masterpiece full of emotions. Please take note that english is not my main language so I apologize for any grammar mistakes. ~ ShikiX

Before I say anything else about it: This Visual Novel gave me really good Entertainment in the first Run. There's enough to say about what's really good about this UN, but on that later. The negative Sides: The various Decisions have only a very small Impact on the Action-if you Refrain from leading to different Endings. Grade when going through to see all Ends it is noticeable that the Ski Function does not also skip the Transitions and Animations. Since these are quite rich, the whole thing is quite long. At some Ends, the Point doesn't really come from the Plot as to why a Difference develops. (In particular, it is worth noting the second Character to which there are Ends.) Even with some of the bad Ends that actually make Sense, it is not sufficiently apparent from the End what actually went wrong. (There are enough Guides and in the Discussions you will find everything, but actually it would be good if it worked just like that) (And this is a Matter of Taste)-(Spoiler to the End) There is no real Happy Ending. After all the Efforts of the Main Character, I would have liked that already, especially since it could have been easily integrated. However, these Criticisms are more than compensated for by the positive Aspects: The Music is really good. It fits perfectly with the individual Situations, does not repeat itself too often and also has quite a few Pieces, which are worth listening to. The Story is multifaceted with some interesting Twists. What starts as a Crime Thriller is increasingly enriched with fantastic Elements and definitely not boring until the End. The Characters are drawn credibly throughout. Virtually everyone has their own Motives for what they do, which you can fully comprehend. There is no such thing As black And White Painting. The graphic Implementation is more cinematic through many Transitions, different Facial Expressions of the Figures and the like Than in many other Visual Novels. I also liked the Graphics quite well. But not too much. After All, there are enough Images in the Product Description with which everyone can form their own Judgement. In Summary: Buy the UN if you want to have an interesting horror/Mystery/Fantasy/Mystery Story. With a Length of 10-15 hours, which I was on when I read comfortably And a quite upscale quality you can hardly do anything wrong.
