Decided to play this game because I thought it would be a low-quality Danganronpa clone I could laugh at. I was presently surprised by the quality of the writing and the fact I actually started caring about what happened to the characters.
The story was solid and managed to achieve what it set out to do. The characters were enjoyable and complimented the story well, my favourite was Billy. The antagonist was also strong and had an interesting motive and backstory.
The character sprites were fine, if a bit inconsistent. The CGs were really bad - to the point they were the most memorable part of the game. However, strangely, the incomprehensibly awful and clearly traced CGs added to the charm of the game.
It’s clear this was a passion project and that a lot of love went into crafting it. I’m interested to see what the creator works on in the future.
I would recommend the game to people who enjoy mystery visual novels and are willing to spend 12 hours on something fun. Keep in mind some of the puzzles are pretty much impossible without a guide.

If they change Ren'py for a better engine, polish it a bit more while keeping their style of game, and fix the pacing a bit, maybe it will be Danganronpa but Kino.
also, some of the puzzle are hard.

Firstly I have to say it's kinda funny and I guess also planned by the devs that it took 12h to finish it.
So to start the characters are great. The design is maybe not the best (but is still a personal preference) but I can't ask for more if it's F2P. What I'm not that much of a fan of are the background images. Sure they got a filter and some look good but most are really bad (I Hate Real Life images in VNs). If we talk about the puzzles they are okay but it feels like some are way too easy and some feel nearly impossible to solve,,,, The Story is nothing special but it works and I don't think it's that easy to predict what happens. What I hated the most is the class trial because even though it was so simple it felt like a lot of stuff that made sense is wrong and your only option is it to get the correct answer through trial and error :/
Overall it's a great VN and I recommend everyone to try it out (I mean it's free so you have nothing to lose)
