Suffice to say, I hated this game. And I also hate the fact that I played this because of the relatively high critic review and the lack of user reviews written for this game. To give myself a brief background, I do play otome games. Heck, I loved Code: Realize and I've played most if not all translated otoges on handhelds since Hakuoki. I've also played a handful of PC otoges. I can't say I like all of them but at least most otome games I've played had at least one route I liked (Saitou's for Hakuouki and Meoshi's for Sweet Fuse are just top of mind examples). Norn9 had left me feeling no love at all - not even for a single character - so much so that I got to finish half of the routes and just gave up because none of them were any good. I wanted to finish all of them just so I can understand the mystery surrounding the game and get answers to my questions about the plot but the cut and paste bland romance in every route with lackluster storytelling just bored me immensely. To add to that, the art wasn't even good for this genre. The characters noses were just so... flat and it kept on bothering me. Heck, some free-to-download otoges on PC had better character art than this game. Honestly, the only thing that was good about this was the unique beginning and the lovely coloring. So even if you're a fan of otome games, I really dissuade you from buying this game.
