q.u.q. is a dark Visual Novel.

You play as a girl named Hacchi. You are exhausted and dying from going on a long walk through the desert. 'Fortunately' you meet a stranger and he wants to help you. However, everything comes at a price and you will sure learn that as you venture through this short Visual Novel. The story is great and there are many choices to make leading to many different endings. Now would be a great time to warn you that this game deals with very sensitive subjects, including physical abuse, thoughts of ceasing to live and forceful ways to achieve that as well. With all the imagery and the text to go with it, so be warned!

As for the game itself, it's really good. The art style is superb, the game has no bugs, the soundtrack is good and it sets a perfect atmosphere for the game. The translation to English is flawless, the dialogues are dark, intriguing and sometimes funny. Great characters as well and good pacing... I have not a single negative thing to say about it.

Overall, a cheap and short Visual Novel that is excellent, but very dark!

I mostly bought this because it was cheap and the art looked cool, a nice game to shut off my brain to, but I didn't expect to get immersed in the story as much as I did! It's nice and short, has an interesting concept, and includes great music and art. I don't have any complaints! If you liked "Milk outside/inside of a bag of milk", this is definitely worth a try as well (Not to mention that game is mentioned by name in one of the endings!)

nice and shrimpy 9/10
