The Good:
- The plot was complex, but it actually feels like it worked. Sometimes when you try to reach a certain level of complexity, any sense goes out the window. But the puzzle pieces coming together made sense here.
- The characters had their unique traits that explained how they viewed the world.
- No unexpected lewd images! I like VNs, it's combining a hobby I love (reading) with gaming. I love that and enjoy this format, but I'm not into eroge. This VN not having a "suddenly eroge" moment was nice.
The Bad:
- There needed to be more time spent with the characters, there really wasn't enough to get an attachment to anyone and really only one or two opportunities to make a choice between characters.
- The translation wasn't great. There were times that a character would say something and it would be abrupt or not really make sense. Also plenty of formatting, spelling, and grammatical errors.
In the end, my final assessment of Campus Notes is simply mediocre. Nothing about it stands out as being great, but nothing is so bad to tilt it in the other direction. I think this would have been a good building block for the developer, but 4th Cluster went under years ago so this remains as their only mark on the world.

Reading this VN made my braincells hurt (this is a positive thing btw!) and it's been an entertaining read.
The replayability to get all the achievements was really bad tho because the skip feature didn't work properly (for me at least).
