I've gone through a number of visual novels from White Wolf and other fantasy adventures with multiple endings based on user choices, but this one is the best, notwithstanding the fact that it is an "adult" novel because of sexual content. The character development is far more advanced than any visual novel or video game available with the possible exception of some of the better role playing titles developed by Bioware (i.e. Baldur's Gate II, Mass Effect, etc...). Though it does make an effort to be sensitive to some gender issues, it still reinforces many stereotypes and is directed firmly towards a younger male audience.
