EXTREMELY fun game! Very simple, fast to jump into a game, and phenomenal community. Buy the Founder's Edition!

So, I bought this game for a joke. I figured "It's probably some cringy garbage, might as well pick it up". While the artwork can sometimes be a little to anime-esque for my taste, the story is phenominal.

What I enjoy the most about this game is how it doesn't necessarily forces interaction with the main characters, but encourages it. And when it comes to it, all the characters have their own pasts, what makes them... them. It's a touch you don't see in most run-of-the-mill visual novels. Most authors and creators have an approach of "MAKE THIS GUY LIKE YOU, MAKE THEM HATE YOU" etc. AWSW wraps the mystery of the story cleverly with the pasts of Bryce, Remy, Adine, Lorem, and Anna to the point where you WANT to get to know them better. And that is a key stand out for the game.

You WANT to know them. You WANT to find out what is going on. You WANT to solve the mystery. But you don't technically HAVE to.

All in all, this game is phenominal. After buying the original game and choking up a multitude of times, I went back and purchased the Deluxe Edition because holy HELL is the soundtrack terrific. It's one of those tracks where it works very well with the tone and style of the game, but is not offputting to listen to as a stand-alone.

My verdict on this game is: Buy it. Buy it, play it, and enjoy a truly remarkable experience.
