I had high expectations for this game. The first game even with all it's faults is a nice story, one of the best vns and Uchikoshi works in general.
I want to say to look past it's faults (annoying characters, shitty musicals, Tama and freak from bar (srsly the worst characters ever), long ass investigations and 1 vs 100 fights.)
Uchikoshi before wrote Zero Escape: mostly realistic series with pseudo-science stuff and big plot twists.
In this game most of the plot is based around police being useless. Monitoring crime scenes? Checking the crime scene? One character from police fucking leaves the crime scene unattended and misses the killer. (god I hate them)
In the fist game plot twist is amazing, everything explained chronologically and the ending written in such a way that if a sequel never released it would be a complete story.
There not only plot twist makes you stare at the screen for 30 minutes, you barely get anything explained and when you get really invested you find plot holes and stuff that makes no sense. Oh the ending sucks, it leaves player unsatisfied with a sequel bait and shitty ARG, also enjoy shitty 4th wall breaks as it will probably be a trend in Uchikoshi next games.
The stuff I wrote is only a fraction of problems with the writing, because this review is spoiler free.
Don't buy into hype and wait for sale, for your sake.
