I was under the impression that this game was the best of the trilogy, but it feels pretty underwhelming compared to Ever17. The game only felt interesting in the beginning and the last half of the Satoru route, the rest is extremely slow. I would rather have a classic structure of multiple paths and a true ending instead of this mess.
Many questions are left unanswered and in general many plotpoints are unrealistic or have no explanation. Like, why make a psychiatric facility in the middle of nowhere with capacity for only 4 people? I was just thinking over and over again "can't wait to see why X happens" and then the game completely ignores the fact that X doesn't make sense.
Overall pretty mid, but was funny to realise this game probably inspired Your Name.
