>>1564102 I'm going to try to be as informative as possible without spoilers. Those of you who have played the game, PLEASE don't correct me unthinkingly, because you'll probably give something away.
The story is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. More than once, I sat staring at the screen without touching my mouse, repeating "Ohmygod....Oh my god...... OH MY GOD." for literally 5 minutes.(You guys know what I'm talking about.) , however......
I personally feel that there is way too much common route, and because of that, the story felt a bit slow at times. (The only VNs I've played with a common route are Ever 17,Symphonic Rain, Tsukihime, Rewrite, and F/SN, and Ever 17 easily has the most.)
I don't know what reviews you've read for this game, but I also feel I should say that there was a little more slice-of-life than I was expecting.
(Oh, and by the way, it's an awfully pretty game. As of this post, almost every image on this thread is a screenshot from the game.)
