First things first, this is a kinetic visual novel with short action levels in-between. Most of the time will be spent reading the dialogs in the same four scenes without even a hint of animations. And the story is solid, with a few genuinely good plot twists. And the relationships between the main characters are made explicit, which is a rare occasion in this kind of game targeted at the general population. To break up the monotony you'll be required to go through three short action levels each chapter to advance the plot. Which will have more dialogs at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of each section. It's mostly empty megastructure backgrounds with narrow corridors floating mid-air, with occasional enemy arena or a platforming puzzle. It's all extremely linear, but thankfully short, taking 5-10 minutes each time, and each section ends with a boss fight. It's also the same formula: gateway, checkpoint, core. Gateway gives access to subnetwork (a semi-random short dunge...

User Reviews
Well, that was a trip. Nothing I could say I'm sure other reviews haven't. It's a visual novel punctuated by some decent action gameplay sequences that eventually find themselves a bit muddled by a fussy and overly complicated set of RPG mechanics that don't feel like they belong at all in a game with so little actual gameplay meat. Do not play this for the "game" part - it's not terrible, but it's far from special and in some ways at least in my experience feels poorly tuned. It is flashy though, and more often than not feels decent to engage with. What matters here is the story and characters. The main characters are all excellent, their art is beautiful and they are all likable. Even most of the secondary characters are great. The story is good although it frequently falls into a maze of its own lore and it can get a bit confusing to keep track of it all.
