A great game with surprising depth
This is a great game, especially if you go in completely blind. It reminds me of the best of the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1980s, where you'd really get into the story and try to figure out what exactly you're supposed to be doing. From the start, you're given choices. So many choices that scrolling through the list of things you can say or do, you may feel a bit overwhelmed at times. Which one is the right one? The great thing is that the game tells you early on that there are no wrong answers -- just branching paths. This is beautiful game design. If you don't normally play visual novels, I think this is a great way to dip your toes into the genre. Though I enjoyed the CYOA books as a teen, I was put off by visual novels because most of them looked like shovelware to me: barely interactable games for people addicted to horny (or at least fanservice-laden) anime. The princess herself is drawn a bit anime-like, but even if you're not into anime, I think you'll like this. The art is great, setting each scene beautifully. The voice work and the writing really complement each other, making both feel great. Right from the start, you begin feeling things based off the the intonations and attitudes of the characters. The story's depth is surprising. At first, it seems a fairly simple story, though it introduces more complexity. Just when you think maybe you've got it figured out, it gets weirder and proves you wrong. It's the sort of thing that intrigued me and got me to play a full session for several hours almost uninterrupted. When I realized the consequences of my actions, it made me feel guilty at times for choosing some of them. Other times, they were darkly humorous. I began experimenting, then hunting for the endings that I personally found satisfying. The replayability seems pretty high, though I think getting all the achievements would be a little tedious (and perhaps a bit of an emotional rollercoaster if you're the sensitive type). Things can get a bit wild.
