Feels like a Persona Spin off that was made with half the budget. The inspiration is very clear, and the game doesnt seem to try to hide it.

It falls under a lot of common anime tropes and the characters are a bit shallow, but the writing on certain scenes was actually pretty decent, this game also has a better excuse for shallow characters than persona considering its 1/10th of the playtime.

Combat is perfectly serviceable with combos, dodges, parries, especial abilities and somewhat okay enemy variety.

The main story is pretty whatever but it does try to incorporate the romance bits of the game into it towards the end, it doesnt quite work but it is a commandable effort nonetheless.

Seeing in the credits that it was made by a handful of people from what seems to be a tiny studio, its quite a commendable effort that the closest point of comparison for me and a few others is Persona.

Its not without issues tho, combat only doesnt get boring because the game is quite short, the main story is, once again, quite whatever for the most part, and character scenes and dialogue can be pretty hit or miss.

Still, i dont regret playing it, its a decent video game at the end of the day, even has some actually funny bits, i expected it to be way way worse than it ended up being.
