I quite liked this visual novel :) Definitely was hitting some familiar beats I felt with Homestuck years ago but aimed to be something totally different, I enjoyed Zhen's descent over more intense political turmoil and I liked her chemistry with Abby. My only real gripes with it were how a lot of the space being shit really doesnt get tapped into at all and the title itself hardly has anything to do with the plot itself. I felt like this game was half of Hussie wanting to make a fun visual novel and also wanting an outlet to talk about serious themes that would just sound like whiny bitching if they didnt have a medium to be funneled through. I think for the context of Zhen as a character it works though and I enjoyed my time with this visual novel more than any new homestuck work soooo........ y e a h. I feel like it couldve benefited from being a separate visual novel and maybe a bit longerrrrrrrr? with some more stuff fleshed out about the world and with space and what not.
would be a 5/5 if Kojima was actually in the game (Hehe) but it gets a 3.5 from me. The most ambitious juggalo coming out story of all time
