uuultra c is both a bit more abstract in its storytelling and more conscious of its stylistic conceits than hashihime was. nothing reaches the narrative highs of hashihime route 1, but the overall marriage of narrative and visuals ends up being more of an effective final product overall. the masked hero/kaiju genre is not one that you see getting the gay boy romance treatment very often so that in itself is pretty novel.

but like why does every y visual novel gotta lean so heavy into noncon? it's not as bad as hashihime was, but "i'm r*ping you to save your life" is still /not great/

This is a really fun game but mostly that. Messy dynamics, misunderstandings, etc. are what make this game and its characters compelling and yet I feel like there could have pushed for a lot more? I think its focus on being flashy and snippet-ish makes it feel great because it's like a flash but also makes it feel shallow because you don't really get to sit with anyone for long? I think my review is just as scatterbrained as I feel about this game. But in that strange I'll be brainrotting about some stuff in this game for a while.
