It feels like a fantastic VN and a mediocre Earthbound clone crammed together like oil and water.
Wonderful and haunting story about overcoming a very well-portrayed trauma, with each character given adequate spotlight in its emotional core.
Annoyingly dragged-out, plodding gameplay and combat that majorly take place in a setting completely irrelevant to the story, to the point where you're begging the game to just get on with it. If the idea was to represent the futility of repression and escapism, I'd say it overstayed its welcome more than a little bit in that aspect.
Again, the story is worth it and there are enough characters here to relate to when it comes to shitty childhood experiences of growing up in a dull countryside town, but whether you can stomach the gameplay or not is up to you.
