Very typical Japanese visual novel fare with this one. It's a high school kid who someone gets to live on his own and no parents. Beautiful women always want to approach him and the protagonist is an emo kid with extremely poor social skills. There's an interesting horror vibe going on here but it's populated by overused tropes and lame storytelling.

I am going to give this another try. First impressions were absolute rubbish. I'm pretty new to visual novels. I'm not sure if Danganronpa counts as that's more a detective thing. I'm not a huge reader, far from it but in the books I have read, I have never read anything this badly written. It's just a poor standard of writing. Now from the perspective of this being visual too, it was outright bad. Here are some examples. Dialogue describes a very untidy room with old food packets about (sounding like a typical messy student flat). The room on screen was immaculate and did not slightly match the messy description. Very shortly after, you are sat outside. The dialogue then describes a scene where you are inside and the description talks about outside. I'm thinking hang on, I'm supposed to be chilling outside already. How come I'm just magically back in the room? It's like they just completely ignored any matching of the dialogue with any of the visual content, which makes me ask myself, why the hell did they make this a visual novel, when the visuals don't go with the novel? I'm literally 10-15 minutes in and there is no cohesion between visuals and dialogue and the dialogue is just piss poor. There are some good stories to be found on Switch in RPG's, so this **** show just seems a bit pointless. The writing just throws random descriptive words in. I'm not a fan of wordsmiths and whilst this doesn't go in to wordsmith territory, it does go in to that pretentious description BS, I read to get a story, not to get a **** load of descriptive waffle. I can't remember the exact words but for waves coming to the shore, it was words like "the pushing and pulling of water". I thought, yes, we've been to school and the seaside. We know how the sea works. It just felt like badly written sentence, after badly written sentence with a couple of extra descriptive words chucked in to stretch out the already lame sentences.

I am so confused what people see in this. Ive played a lot of visual novels and this has won last place for me and is one of the worst experiences Ive ever had. It was low-stakes, shallow characters that just are so difficult to enjoy, terrible pacing issues of several hours going by of just not a lot happening, plagued with poor/cheap writing tricks that are either very predictable or come out of nowhere that all emotions toward it just didn't have a build up to care about. This dragged in a way I've never seen a visual novel do before. It just is fascinating that no one thought to the self before releasing this that 'hey maybe we should cut out these several 3-4 hour long gaps of meaningless fluff because no reasonable person would enjoy that'. Some of the characters were alright albeit maybe a bit cliche and tropey but the vast majority of the cast just felt very underdeveloped. The traveling around concept was sorta neat. That was new for me and I really liked the trying to figure out where to go, too bad if you stumble on a place where nothing is going on you waste your time though which happens often. This structure unfortunately though leads to a big issue of trying to replay it. I just got frustrated with how much time I felt I was wasting on nonsense by trying to move around this structure that is cool at first but then quickly becomes an annoyance. The plot was just hard to care about, sometimes too vague and situations with the characters were not interesting enough for me. Reveals were also not really well written and would come off as cheesy too which just added to this mess. The MC you play as has a pre-built backstory too that just was hard to relate to, it felt like it came and went on a whim so often that id sometimes forget these details about the MC until it pops up again and it made it feel so disjointed. Overall, terrible game. One of the worst in my experiences. Art style is nice, menus are cool, I liked the traversal at first until I didn't but the main point of visual novels is plot/characters that this just didn't land for me.
