a previous reviewer called this "like playing an anime" and that's accurate. while it contains only the most barebones of srpg elements, they are engaging enough, and tied with really charming character designs and setpieces in a pretty distinct world (sort of 1920s steampunk japan).

that being said... i have to mark an entire star off for iris. i almost dropped the game twice because of how viscerally uncomfortable i was. i understand people have different tolerances for this stuff, but almost an entire chapter of a (ten year old) child saying "i love you big brother please marry me hold my hand" etc was like... really unforgivable. you can say something about cultural differences... i don't give a shit.

anyway, kanna is my 6'6 wife and more games should let me date girls who can dunk
