The game starts off pretty confusing and moves at a rather slow pace for the first few doors, but they are important to setup the plot for later parts of the story. If you can make it past the start, your perseverance will be paid off greatly. I was also considering just dropping the game, but I couldn't help but feel it would be a slog to re-read everything I have already read in the future if I decide to pick it back up. Now that I have completed the true ending though, I believe this is one of those games that are truly worth seeing through to the end.
