Clephas' VN home

I have a strong feeling this vn is highly overrated and won't live up to expectations of the playerbase. There's been quite a lot of hype even long before it's release, as if people were hoping this game will reinvent the wheel in terms of setting and themes, but I'm unable to do anything but roll my eyes in disbelief, at least from what I've seen so far.

"... seems to be the fact that the VN wastes very little time on the romantic and slice-of-life aspects that would have been the center of a charage"

especially this is what makes it (along the non convoluted writing) a pleasant read for me. not saying i do detest both, or the latter one by default, just too much of them (or the usual amount) would have ruined the setting, btw. distracted from what matters most. almost dare to claim re-lief´s overall experience could´ve  been even better in case its devs had decided on making it all ages, though i fucking hate that horribly missleading term with great passion. totally not fond of uninspired lovey-dovey crap just for including some pointless fucks.

the heroine route except Ai is really confusing and unsatisfying. It is like they want to give hint about the setting and the mc's identity but have to sacrifice the story of the heroines itself. Well, at least the heroines problem have nice conclusion. And this also tackles some AI topic that interesting to read.

btw, is anyone bothered with green border in this game? Is it have some meaning? 

I liked it well enough, until the true route that is. It started going downhill after the beach scene. At the end I had even more questions than before. What/how was the doppelganger, wtf was up with the wings, and how can Momo have acces to her real Pad when she is in a virtual reality?

 

It starts strong with the first 3 routes being good and disapoints at the grande finale

That island was a virtual reality construct created for the Tryment Plan.  The attempted murderer doppelganger is Tsukasa's original personality stabbing the surface personality that dominated in the other paths.  The wings were an expression of the master AI's (Alpha's/You's) administrator privileges.  Momo has access to Toto and her tablet as a virtual item because it would have been impossible to get her to believe the island was real without Toto.  Also, the other three paths were 'explained' as simulations done by the master AI as to what Tsukasa would do in various situations and the results of his actions.  The reason the doppelganger (Tsukasa's original personality) and the surface personality were actually able to completely separate for a time was because the surface personality was born of his fusion with the AI implanted in his brain after the accident.  In all the simulations, Tsukasa eventually dies, or so it is implied by the master AI and Ai herself.  That he was able to wake up in the true ending was the miracle born of him reconciling his past self with his current, partially artificial self.
