lol @ all the nerds in this review section saying they cried at this game's story.

the gameplay is outright terrible. it's trial-and-error mixed with a time limit where every action costs time. you're either going to be restarting a lot because the game expects you to make leaps in logic for every single dream sequence, or you'll just do what any normal person would do and use a guide. the game is poorly paced too, god damn is there just not enough dream sequences for a $60 game. you're going to be leaning on the "sit around and read dialogue" aspect of this game a lot, and even as someone who's played uchikoshi games, i found myself running out of patience.

the greatest sin is the story, hoo boy. the main character is pretty much unlikable and the plot is soaked with misogyny (unironically the main character gets super-human powers when he sniffs women's dirty laundry or thinks there's a porn magazine nearby) and the characters are flat. the plot has moments of intrigue that come very late and don't get properly explored in a way i'd expect from uchikoshi. anyone who tells you this game made them cry should not be trusted, their opinion is immediately invalidated.
