The review mentions main themes, playable characters’ names and the total number of routes and endings.
Maybe that’s because I just love her always-logical state of mind, coupled with her VA’s superb voice acting that well reflects this personality... or maybe I’m just happy to see the Sybil System, representing the central philosophy of this fictional dystopian world of Urobochi’s creation, is given more ink and screen time.
Most of them are different endings, so let's just establish that this game has quite a bit of replayability, which is a huge bonus in my books.
The story is top-notch and co-written by Gen 'The Butcher' Urobuchi, the music (albeit it is sadly a minus point since I could not detected that much new music) uses for the larger part the top-notch instrumental music of the series, the graphics while not being the level of course of full-blown AAA productions are excellent in comparison for a visual novel (and once again, they really do the atmosphere justice), and as far as I can tell the game is as bug-free as it can be.
