Fucking hell, another tab open when I should be crunching these quarterly reports. The boss walks by, I alt tab to a spreadsheet, heart pounding. This game, right? It's about some hero who broke the thread of worlds or whatever, and now everything's chaos. Standard anime bullshit, but then his sisters show up. And I don't mean in a "hey bro, let's grab pizza" way. The power of darkness and light, sure, but the real power is in the tension when one of them leans in too close. The animation is janky as shit sometimes, like a Flash project from 2006 that got left in the sun. But when it works, when the scenes hit, it's that specific hentai style where the eyes go all glossy and the dialogue gets stupidly poetic about "restoring balance." Balance, my ass.
Lucifer is there, the Inquisition is there, everyone wants a piece. The writing is this weird mix of cosmic fate and "onii-chan, what are you doing?" that makes me cackle in my cubicle. I wish the UI wasn't so clunky though, clicking through dialogue feels like operating a microwave from 1987. Not that they'll ever fix it. The devs are probably too busy drawing another sister's surprised expression. You know the one. The classic "this isn't what it looks like" face that's in every third VN on the site.
Got to a scene where the hero has to "mend the broken thread" and I swear the metaphor was so on the nose I snorted coffee. The sisters are an "unexpected and valuable addition" the description says. No shit. One minute you're fighting Lucifer, the next you're in a quiet room with a character who's suddenly very interested in the hero's "darkness." The voice acting, if you can call it that, is all breathy gasps and stock moans. Perfect for muting when the Slack notification pings. Anyway, the fate of all worlds depends on his choice. My choice is whether to finish this TPS report or see if there's a scene where the Inquisition walks in at the worst possible moment. Probably.
