As my first visual novel - I can honestly say that I really enjoyed this. The story is a tad cliche, but the writing is solid and the character development is pretty good as well! This is a visual novel in the truest sense of the words, there aren't any player decisions or anything like that, just a narrative to cruise along with and enjoy. I ended up getting a solid 6 hours out of it, took me about a week to finish - playing a little every night. The music is really well composed and the art is fantastic - overall I'd say that it is well worth the price. As an introduction to the genre, this has set the bar fairly high! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for more from the AlienWorks!
