Good things about this game:
Very well written - Scenarios and situations were good
Great voice acting - Extremely impressed with the voice acting
Multiple endings are (somewhat) diverse and give variety - The endings are somewhat similar and different according to which "good" and which "bad" route you take
Bad things about this game: Unless you don't mind:
Not having an explanation or two for certain parts in the story (that you may possibly want...like me...)
Bonus content not being all that "Bonus"-like
Playing the game without voice acting (I wouldn't of minded honestly, but I liked what I heard from the demo)
Paying a bit extra only to have good voice acting (that is if you want the voice acting)
Having at MOST MAYBE about 4 hours of game play
Then this game is possibly what you may be looking for.
I give this about an 8 out of 10 due to the main reason I listed above in the spoilers, if that had not been an issue in the game, this would have easily of gotten an 8.5 out of 10.
Final thoughts: This game was very well written and thought out, despite the 3 (MAYBE 4) hour game play. Though this wasn't what I was hoping for this game to be (I was honestly kind of hoping for this game to be a bit more like "RE: Alistair ++"), this game was a joy to play. The only somewhat negative thing during the game play I found myself doing was about more than half the time skipping conversations I had "already read". I am glad I stumbled upon this game, it has a very unique story line; I just would not have bought the voiced version. This is more of a game I would range to be about $10, and even with voice acting, because let's face it: what makes a story worth the buy is the story, not the voice acting. Though if it has voice acting then it can play a huge part, but in this case, with this visual novel, I would not recommend spending the few extra bucks just to have voice acting go along.
GG! 8 out of 10! I would write more to shed some light on this review but limit lol.
