The careless copy-editing sets a poor first impression. Someone needs to teach this poor writer and/or editor how to use a comma correctly. The dice mechanic is seductive, though, and even though it becomes so easily min-maxed as to be irrelevant in the last quarter, it gives the proceedings urgency where they otherwise wouldn't have any. I found myself compelled, though never quite surprised and certainly not moved; the game is totally upfront with its themes so there aren't exactly many surprises.

I would show this to a casual gamer who has expressed tentative interest in visual novels.
