You are running through a forest. It is late at night and the sky is as black as pitch. The trees which surround you, jutting out of the earth like eerie monuments to a foreign god, are blotting out most of the moonlight. You do not know where you are going. You have no map; no route; no plan. You have no desire, as you run, save to escape. You cannot let yourself be caught. All you can do is run, on and on and on... But, despite all of your hard work, your best efforts will, invariably, be in vain. It’s already too late for you. After all... You’ll never be able to escape from me.

I didn't really look much into this game before downloading it, but I enjoyed it. The themes stay quite consistent in all routes and it's understandable if people feel like they know what to expect because of it, but I never failed to put my trust in each character, despite those little feelings that things might not go so well. I guess that's the whole "yandere" thing I glossed over though.
Beautiful, flowery prose wasted on long-winded nothing.
Once I got to the third and last of the mostly independent short-stories, I couldn't help but skip half the descriptive monologues, because I figured that I already knew how the story was about to unfold - and I did, because it went the exact same route as the stories before it.
I like the idea of the framing narrative and wish that was a larger focus of the experience. Instead, it felt like an afterthought to justify writing the same story three times to extend the playtime beyond what I could stomach.
