Pros: A really interesting story with well build character development, reach character past which defines their strengths and weaknesses always a sign of good writing, a buttumload of twists and secondary plots that kept me on my toes, and retrospectively speaking the games best attribute for sure was the story.

Unfortunately, this visual novel has no voice acting, but it has decent sound effects and background music to make up for it, giving you a decent immersion.
