It's better for her to understand the truth than to live in delusion, and because it's twisted and unpredictable... Me likey XD

This game was the first thing that broke my spending limit this month. (The second being Snuff)
As soon as I finished the demo, I had to buy it. And I wasn't dissapointed. :)
I found the good endings slightly cheesy, but the bad endings more than made up for them, and the true ending... was absolutely brilliant!
Definitely one of the best things I've read lately.
GJ!

Just finished it, and my feelings can be conveniently summarized by this expression: O_O.
But for a more in-depth review, I'll say that first: I loved the art. It was pretty, clean, light, and in general suited the story's atmosphere very well. The music was, in my opinion, wonderful. Its overall gentleness set such a nice tone to the story and wasn't jarring or overwhelming at all.
The true ending came as a huge blow. I kind of had a sense that something sinister was going on, but I had no idea that all of them would be that evil. I liked the way you built up the suspense throughout the paths, but I found the true ending... unrealistic. I just find it hard to believe that three people could turn out to be so utterly evil. But then again, it may just be because I haven't met that many evil people yet (and hopefully it'll stay that way... >_>) On another note, I was also pretty surprised when she got her revenge on all three of them. I was expecting her to 1) never get her revenge and wallow away in misery 2) get only partial revenge 3) forgive and forget and ascend to heaven or 4) end up with Sui and become a waiter at Cafe 0. XD I really loved Shou's good and evil endings though. Especially his evil one... it sent chills down my spine. >_< OH AND WHY DID SUI HAVE NO PATH??? :cry: He was my favorite character!! I mean, we're a match made in heaven - I don't like eating ears either!! How much more similar can two people be? XD
Anyways, a good and gripping work over all.

In regards to what's under the spoiler:
Yeaaah...live long enough, I'm sure you'll meet people like that at some point. People who try to actively screw you over. People who don't seem to care if you're having trouble with something and it's their job to help you...But I'm not bitter. 8|
Also, everyone seems to like Sui. Weird~

@Mink
In a game where you're supposed to hate most of the characters, that doesn't come out as a surprise.

Actually I was referring to IRL. <x< Then again, I'm sure if
Marin gets...reincarnated or something, she'll err on the side of caution with people. It's not a mistake unless you don't learn from it! 83

@Mink
Sorry if it isn't clear, I was referring to you asking why Sui is popular. I wasn't commenting about the plot. lol~

What we have here is a failure to communicate, OTL;

Hm, maybe it's also the hair? Chicks dig blue hair. I mean, just look at how many fangirls Nightcrawler has! I'll admit to being one of them.

ROFL I can't stop laughing watching the weird conversation we have here.

@lumen,azure,desu_cake
glad you like it~ ^^

@snow_blossom
glad finally you managed to get it well.
I know everyone want Sui's route, but I don't want to make ordinary route for him rofl.
Maybe in future game? *Not so soon though~ :)

Girls love the mystery athmosphere around him, is all. XD

Personally, I don't have any favorite character since they are look equally amusing to me. And I don't see how the MC can woo Sui either, so the option not to chase Sui is good enough as it is.

I gotta agree Sui shouldn't be obtainable -_-
It just won't make sense.

Or, you know. You can TRY to date him, but it always ends with total and harsh rejection. Which would probably funny to see play out. /terrible person
