GNOSIA

I liked the characters, the storytelling, the werewolf game, losing, winning, leveling up, the slight 4th wall breaks, manipulating characters and pulling strings to achieve story beats, and the spread-out story beats themselves.

Mid-end-game becomes a little grindy, because triggering some character moments can become elusive, but finally being able to pull the right strings and line up the correct conditions felt very gratifying for me.

Seeing some of the game elements, backing tracks, and sound effects be actualized in the anime was also fun to experience.

As someone who finds great interest in character design and fashion, I deeply love the art direction and visual style for this game.

The painterly textured character art in contrast with the metallic, sleek spaceship backgrounds gives this game a very intricate, flamboyant and bizarre look—making the visuals wonderfully distinct.
