This keeps the experience focused, but it also reinforces the sense that the game is more about exploring a specific set of themes than about providing a wide range of outcomes.

9 of 179 sampled reviews raised it
There are times when you eat something delicious and once finished you are left with the craving for more, this game falls exactly into that painful experience, the art style is gorgeous, sound design was surprisingly neat, character design is really cute and creative, and even if I am not one for "yandere" types, the way it was portrait here does not subtract to the experience.
