Its fine for what it is. Good presentation, 3d cutscenes and solid character design. Unofrtunatelly the "H" part of this "h-game" is its weakest aspect so i cant justify a higher rating. If you want a sci-fi VN with focus…
Shadeyman7 2026-04-01 ★★★★★
Overall a solid VN. Tactical combat was occasionally too long for me during some of the climactic moments of the story, but there being a skip combat button meant it really wasn't a problem at all so it's definitely not…
