I am a visual novel fan, and creator. Uninteresting writing, bland washed out colours, cold empty interiors, repetitive music. Every single frame is this weird uncomfortable silence with unanimated models posed like I am watching a garrysmod slideshow. The characters are so bland I had almost no motivation to play on. Theres no interaction at all and you're essentially resting first on chin clicking silently to get through the really not that impressive writing. Which would be *fine* for a visual novel, but Necrobarista obfuscates all its mechanics, instead of just actually making it easy to read or parse the scenes you're just watching this weird garrys mod puppet shower. I don't know why they didn't just make a visual novel, they aren't animating anything its just weird still frame photos of 3D models, you already did the hard work, just format it like a visual novel. Cut out all the wasted time clicking around walking in the akward first person. Use Ren-py rather than unity. Every decision in this visual novel is so weird and akward, I don't know why they did any of this. And I don't know why this is getting such consistently high reviews, its really really disappointing and not very good. I don't know what people see in this that I don't. Seriously just go play VA-11 Hall-a, thats all this is trying to be anyway, poorly.
