I honestly did not expect this game to be as good as it was, but it really surprised me!

It is evidently clear Quill Game Studios really took the time to put together a thoughtful story with nuanced and imperfect characters. The story isn't as simple as it seems, and you have several opportunities to work through this game and understand each character's motivations and personality.

Who will you get close to? Who will you side with? Who will betray you? There are a whopping 13 different endings, and I highly recommend getting through them all as it gives you the best overview of the cast. Don't worry though, the skip button will be your best friend, so you won't have to revisit any scenes. You may want to grab a pen and paper though to track what paths you've been down on.

What impressed me the most about this game is that every character is flawed and every character has likeable traits. The more time you spend with someone, the more you get to know their struggles, but also their redeeming qualities. Even the protagonist has likeable and unlikeable qualities - she's more than an empty vessel like you'll see in other visual novels.

The art style can be a bit jarring sometimes, but you get used to it really quickly... except for the eyes. Just don't look at the eyes and you'll be fine.

If you're a fan of the visual novel genre, then I highly recommend this game. If you're inexperienced or a newcomer, then this is still a great introduction. The murder mystery aspect of the game really pushes you to find the truth, and you quickly find yourself engrossed to explore this world.

Destroys friendships, would recommend

Altair can't even swim in water
Apparently water is toxic and touching it is instant death
11/10 for realism
