THINGS I LIKED:
- art is pretty
- va is awesome
- i actually managed to finish it
- akaza

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE:
- mind-numbingly boring despite being full of all kinds of tension. how did they do it
- ok i know otome games are inherently heterosexual so i tend to turn to just letting it slide but by god is this (cis)heterosexual i don't know how many times they repeat the whole "long ago humans were one soul.. until they split into man and woman.." thing as well as the whole You Must Find A Mate to Breed thing. oh my god. Oh wow
- i loved kuroba but he was saddled with quite possibly one of the worst routes i've played like ever that wasn't straight up offensive
- felt like more of a timekiller to me than an actual game to enjoy
- a frankly offensive amount of flashbacks that i cannot rationalize as anything other than some ppl on the team trying to set this game up for failure because what the hell
- not enough camellia
- i'm usually good at turning my brain off when it comes to plot holes or bad deus ex machina moves but holy god. not this time around, clearly
