A satisfying tiny adventure
I'll start by saying that this game is incredibly short. This is something you can play and finishing comfortably on a lunch break without rushing. Taking inspiration both from cyberpunk and anime titles, I feel like the story deserved a longer, more complex treatment, but ultimately it does manage to evoke both effectively, if briefly. The game itself, though, can be confusing. The player is presented with a multiple choice tree of information bits that can be accessed non chronologically. Add to that an English translation that could have used a substantial cleaning effort, and those two factors combined had me struggling to even make sense of what I was supposed to be doing at first. That said, I did find the true ending on my first try, so how hard can it be? :P Ultimately, the story achieved (IMO) what a visual novel is supposed to achieve, which is to not leave the reader/player indifferent to it (or drowning in nihilistic zawa-zawa because, because we so edgy, bro), so, well done!
