Im sad that this kind of flew under the radar for so many people because this concept is REALLY fucking cool. Youre basically playing a deduction visual novel rpg with stats to upp the odds of your success and survival ala Murder/Werewolf/and yes... yes its like Among Us.
Single Player Among Us.. but still in A WAY among us

EXCEPTTT THERE;S NOT REALLY LIKE A FOCUS ON TASKS AND SUCH and its more like the raw 1:1 deduction and conversational aspects of this game are what youre playing it for which can be a mixed bag, I absolutely love the music and the art style and how many different roles you can play

Youre one of several poor gay assholes stuck in a time loop with universal fuckery happening bc of this entity called Gnos, a gnosia is a being thats caused by infection of the host and they really just only try to kill humans but they can throw other Gnosia under the busssss and really throw the group off of shit.

Infact, the more you play the game the more it feels like you get for wiggle room with what can happen and theres an insanely high chance that the person thats gnosia wont be it again twice in a row

The loops are very fun but I think that,,, once you start not coming across interactions organically.. once you hit a certain point iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits... magic starts to wane for me babe
The game thankfully lets you be able to have preset settings for things that will inch you along in the story and all that jazz when getting to one of the endings, but youre still at the bane and mercy of the biggest nigh cosmic spacial threat of all beyond Gnosias, Bugs and Gnos... RNG lmfao

Sometimes you can get lucky!! and sometimes the skills really do make a massive difference in upping the odds as ive said before but!!!! there's a double edged sword thing going on here that may make or break it for a lotta people
I loved this game i found it even hard to put it down despite it flickering between being really freeflowing and then becoming some planeswalker to-do list matches that may or may not pan out how you want
and then the endings can vary in satisfaction but... i honestly just kinda went "damn. that sucks." for the bittersweetness but you dont see BEYOND that with... hm nah im starting to get into spoilers and i want ppl to be able to see atleast most of this soooo yeah thats all i can say

all in all its one of the coolest visual novels ive ever touched but i think it technically doesnt succeed very well with some ofwhat its going for with the story and narrative because i felt like i wanted M O R E.. more directness with the narrative and conflicts that get overcame tht make me feel MORE but instead i just wound up liking the taste enough to keep sticking my fingers in and going onnn and onnn and on with random matches and trying new things anddddd it got entrancing but i wouldnt say that makes it GOOD design
more like that it hit a nice chord for me at the right time

Some other little things thatre nice are the designs and whole alien/human things going on with these people so theyre not all just the exact same age and species, it makes the crew feel more interesting and learning more abt them is fun
Props to this game's devs for also not only letting you make yourself explicitly nonbinary, but there's two actual nonbinary characters ingame thatre (sharp exhaling.. sayin these nowadays makes me feel like a robot sometimes) amab and one that was afab, and theyre both really cool characters thatre different and not just total 1:1 copypastes or anything not even in design they contrast each other almost completely :) i just think thats very cool

shoutout to SQ the poly cis sapphic ally of all time <3 love her up and down

so yeah grab it if its on sale and the pitch seems really cool to you but if a mystery murder game had no extensive puzzles and was solely debating and levelling up and time fuckery to get more sides of the pie cut out doesnt sound like your thing, then thats okay :)
i just think its pretty rad
