there is a very unique feeling of dread that accompanies failure in this game. if haruka is sad it's a result of my own incompetence as her producer. when i detect even the slightest of frowns on her face i punch a hole or two through my wall out of frustration. every inconvenience i run into only proves to strengthen my resolve to always look forward and bear with the ever increasing number of holes in my wall until i can give haruka (and the other idols i guess) the happy ending she deserves. this level of emotional investment tying directly to gameplay makes each win or loss hit so much harder. it's genius. peak. kino
