i played this primarily because i had played DDLC on a whim, heard it mentioned, and yet again am a sucker for metafiction. i obviously won't go into the plot more than general strokes here, but Aoi's extremely, extremely endearing and i liked most of the slice-of-life stuff because of her. i liked a lot of it, and although the very very end felt mastrubatory, the majority of the last act was fucking insane, disorientating, and horrific.

oh, and for the record - most of the sex scenes made me crack up. however, for the purposes of getting the fullest experience out of the ending, i gotta suggest getting the patch if you get it off steam
