It almost feels wrong to say it's great but it really is. Manages to subvert every possible weakness from the start and build it into something meaningful and poignant with every scene communicating something important. One of the most visceral and real portrayals of mental illness in a VN I've ever seen and I can only imagine how well the full game will build off of this. Very much worth the read, especially considering its length.
