Ok... there really isn't much to say on this VN, because it is ridiculously low-budget/low-quality. That isn't to say that it doesn't show moments of brilliance... it is just that the pacing is so terrible it is like the story got tossed into a high-speed blender before being pulled out and taped back together... with a lot of missing pieces.

I'm not fond of pointless ichaicha, but when all the heroine routes but one feel so truncated you feel like they might as well not even exist... well, you just can't have good feelings about it, now can you? It's like they surgically removed anything that might have developed the cast more either before or after the path split. Moreover, the actual heroine stories are basically template patterns of their various character type, with a few minor setting-based twists. Heck, even Mia's ending (she being the true heroine) is ridiculously true to her character type's patterns, with all the details sort of white-washed or hurried along.

In other words, this entry by the new company, In-sync, is a worthless hunk of steaming kusoge.

Edit: As an elaboration and an example of how horrible this game is... the last scenes on Mia's path (ending1) have the parts of the process that would have made the entire business at the end more poignant simply cut out.

Uguu that sounds like you hit something pretty bad. Unless a work does magic with it or only uses an archtype as a starting location, I feel the dreadful urge to vomit. If you can't find a way to fill in the early conversations with something interesting, that's ok, but charage without no character development? What do you think you are making?

I recently read Bishoujo Mangekyou -Kami ga Tsukuritamouta Shoujo-tachi-, which was, to quote myself: "poo poo poo". It had a interesting premise/setting which could have been a lot more. To put it another way, if you read it as a nukige, it's a wonderful nukige that's surprisingly strong and unyielding in it's worldview.

I played the first game in the series, the one with the vampire... and I couldn't help but feel that they wasted the entire thing.  I mean, the beginning and the conclusion are excellent... but the rest is endless vampireXhuman H.
