Slow progression and lacking in direction.

I was unable to finish this game. I played for about an hour before I uninstalled it. The dialogue is bad. The voiceovers for the written sections don't match the text and the main character speaks like Captain Kirk with awkward pauses in the middle of his sentences. Some of the dialogue is unnecessarily crass. The story is slow and lacks direction, leaving you to guess what exactly it is you're supposed to be doing.

The story here is masterfully told, and the visuals really add to that. However the gameplay? Not so much. But it IS worth slogging through, if only for the excellent story.

Good visual design and art style, with an interesting topic. There are a few bugs and translation errors, but nothing that ruins the experience of the game. Absoultely fantastic voice acting from all characters as well.
