Writing isn't really my strong suit however after playing this game I feel this it really deservers another positive review. The game is a mix of Adventure Game and Visual Novel with has good sound and visuals(though these are some of things I tend to care the least about in video games so maybe take that with a grain of salt) but where it shines is how it can captivate you in it's world. The game doesn't hold your hand thrusts you into this grim supposedly fantastical world where you're never quite sure exactly what is going on or if it really is fantastical. They further complement this with interesting characters that give you further reason to get invested in this world along with "mini-games" which I really hesitate label as such. A normal mini-game takes you out of the story and into something else but these do the opposite*; through their integration with the dialogue and simplicity they manage to immerse you more into the game; when you're character is struggling you feel it, you aren't just pressing "2. Try Harder". As for the flaws I'd say the only real one(beside a few, what I assume to be, unnatural feeling translations) is that with the lack of handholding you kind of have to go out of your way to wander around every once in a while to complete "side quests" which kind of takes you out of the game as that's obviously not what you would be doing. Overall I'd say it's easily a 5/5 and vastly underrated game however I would say that if you don't enjoy games where there's not always a clear answer or lore about everything(at least one that is easy to find) or games that just expected to remember things(or at least take notes if you can't) you might not enjoy this game as much. Also if you're the kind of gamer who doesn't care about characters or story or "the world" but just the game play then you aren't going to like this game. *Or try to; there is an easy mode and an option to disable them if they are distracting you instead of helping immerse you.
