Plus: most parts of the story were really good. I enjoyed the character relations and how they formed over the few days where a group of people were forced to co-operate and interact together in order to survive. I also really liked the details about Sora and found the various scientific theories, interesting though I can't account for the validity or accuracy of them. I also enjoyed all the technological details 'cos they actually bothered to explain things out, instead of rambling on and on about them like in many sci-fi/technology-based novels.
The switching of "perspectives" used for hiding secrets, layering of different realities was also pretty cool. All the different characters were kinda interesting and had their own secrets + mysteries. And the dynamic between the entire cast was very good 'cos everyone had their own traits that sparked off "certain results/moments" when interacting with others. My most favourite character was Coco, I think. She was just so sensitive and matured though on the outside, she tried her best to cling to her youth.
The voice-acting was very good and the voice actors played their parts rather well. It was also really good that none of the females had those "squeaky and highly excited" moments like in some of those anime. (That's why I stopped watching Ghost Hunt... the main protagonist sounded like she was constantly hyped up on steroids.) Anyways, the VAs played out their characters' emotions brilliantly and you could really feel and care for them.
Art was okay... I really liked the backgrounds though the character art was a bit plain/dated at times. The CGed images were lovely, though.
The music was okay... but I'm a bit of a sucker for synthesizer-based music, so I liked some of the pieces... lol.
Minus: I didn't like how the "time-jump parts"(that Blink winkel part?) 'cos that really weakened the story at certain points as they weren't established long enough to really work them into the plot. I didn't mind that they sorta skipped scientific logic but more like... it was "wham bam!" and not slowly layered. On the good side, it did lead to some really touching moments when certain characters were rescued at the end. On the bad side, I felt this could've been established much earlier.
Same for the part about the "evil corporation" part and what they did to Tsugumi. It was a bit too sudden and the implementation felt kinda cheesy. Plus the writing pulled far too many coincidences with that part. I found myself rolling my eyes at the "mamma" part.
Also, I'm not a big fan of melodramatic moments: touching moments= yes, overly weepy moments = no. But that's more a personal taste than an issue with the game, really.
