I REALLY wanted this to surprise me, but it ended up being completely and utterly predictable.

I was able to guess the plot in its entirety, just reading the description on the store page. Like really. It's not even a little subtle.

The two characters were rather flat, and their dialogue dry. Very little happens until the SHOCKING TWIST at the end. And while I don't disagree with the ultimate message of the game, I think this was a really awful way to present it and it felt very tacked on. There were also maybe only 3 tracks in the entire thing which made the music a bit grating and repetitive than it should be.

HOWEVER. I appreciate what it tried to do, it only took me a few minutes to read through, and...well...it's free, so can I REALLY complain?

And here's where I'm conflicted as hell. It's very obvious this was the work of a very small group of people. Perhaps it's even a one man show. It REALLY hurts me to not recommend this game since VNs are a medium that I absolutely love and I do want this developer to keep working on stuff in the future.

But what's being asked of me is, "Do you recommend this game?"

And I cannot say Yes.

Regardless, I hope the developers keep at it and wow me with their next project.
