This game is a visual novel, which also doubles as a dating sim and a horror game. The premise is a Japanese high school where the protagonist joins his friend Sayori in her literature club, which turns out to be only girls which show a great interest in this new male member. (oh, geez!)
Yes, it’s as silly as it sounds, and it’s also very Japanese with all the typical stereotypes of male and female as we have become accustomed for in manga. You write poems to the girls by choosing words, where girls are more attracted to some of the words than the others.
If this was the whole game, it would probably be quite boring, but there is also a menu system that comes to play, in very much the same way as the phone did in Stens;gate. Exploring the menus and the virtual computer the game runs on, provides a lot of extra depth and reveals where the story is going.
The game is pretty short, and at the half way point it makes a hard turn making everything a lot more interesting. Just like Steins;gate, but instead of waiting 12 hours for that turn, it happens after about 2 hours. From that point the game gets much more interesting and I find myself becoming more invested in the game.
The writing is okay, the characters are cute and I start to find myself invested in them before the game ended. The end was very satisfying to me, and I think it carried the whole experience.
I rate this game as GOOD.
