the first 60% of this was stronger than i expected, but it totally nosedived near the end and by the last couple of hours or so i stopped really caring. if ryuki wasn't there i'd probably give a lower score, but even his own character was kind of wasted at the end of the day. perhaps i'm being a little harsh, as mizuki and the other mizuki weren't particularly badly written at all- they were fine. but the plot they were shoved into was being held up by sticks. the "the timelines were actually crossed" twist was cool but in pratice kind of ended up just like a much more interesting version of "delta was there the whole time just conveniently positioned off camera." it did not help that it had to be explained to us, the player, by a possessed mama (which was responsible for moving the plot along more times than it should have been) as opposed to something baked into the general mystery. anyway this game and raincode are having a midoff.
