The diary framing is a lie. Or maybe it's not, I don't know, I clicked through the first few entries and then just started picking whatever choice made Miu's top look like it was about to lose a structural integrity battle. The game says it's about Keiichi and his five heroines figuring out their futures, healing past wounds, all that. But the first real scene I got was on a beach in what I think is Brazil, and Senri's foot was already doing things under the table at a cafe that would get you banned from most establishments. Not complaining.

The 3DCG models have that specific look, you know the one. Plastic skin but somehow the tan lines on the latina character, I forget her name, the one with the impossibly big ass, they got the tan lines right. Spent way too long on that detail. The animation during the oral scenes is stiff but the sound design, or lack of it, there's this weird echo in the party scene that made me think my headphones broke. They weren't. It's just like that. The netorare tag is there but it's not in your face, more like a slow dread that creeps up when you realize you picked the wrong dialogue option three screens ago and now Kaede is looking at that other guy with a smile she never gave you. Wish there was a way to undo choices without restarting the whole chapter but that's not happening.

The footjob scene unlocks way too early. Or maybe exactly at the right time, depending on why you're here. The writing tries to be poetic about love defying illness and distance but then Hina's teasing you with a popsicle in a way that has nothing to do with poetry. The contrast is jarring in a way I kind of respect. Like the game can't decide if it's a melancholic visual novel about broken people or a fap material delivery system. It's both. It fails at being both. It succeeds anyway. The harem route seems impossible to avoid, every choice leads to someone new showing up with bigger tits than the last. That's not a complaint. I think.
