Been playing this for a few days now. 36% completion, completely done with Emi and Kenji's route and am working on Rin's route. This game's story writing truly is amazing. Yet, I feel that what truly gets me are two things.

The music for one. The person who organized the songs was a genius. Some songs just really add to the emotion of scenes. Especially the title screen music. It sets up the atmosphere perfectly.

Second are the cinematics. They're so beautifully crafted, and I love the artwork that comes along with it. Sometimes I just go back to the Extras to rewatch them.

So yeah, I'll make sure I'll 100% this. Truly amazing music, story, everything.

I avoided this for quite some time, but I finally came through and decided to download it a couple days ago, and holy crap is it time consuming.

I agree with brando, it kinda sucks that you can play this for an hour or so and make very little progress. But hell, the replayability and story are great factors in this game. I tried getting to Rin's route first (cuz she's the coolest imo) but somehow managed to get to Emi's route or as I like to call her, anal girl. That seriously caught me off guard.

Emi's route only took me a good 7 freakin' hours to complete. So it does take a lot of time, but time is something I have so it works perfectly for me.

Second playthrough, and I now manage to get to Rin's route. So I'm glad I decided to download this.

"Hey, Emi, wanna go exercise down at the track?"
"You know how else we can exercise, Hisao? Buttsecks."
"Emi, that's not what I was implying at a-"
"WHAT WAS THAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ME BENDING OVER."

And that's why it's the best game ever.

Well I think it's obvious who's route I'm doing first. SHIZUNE'S!

Yes I'm a lazy ♥♥♥ who hasn't started a route yet.

I am really stunned to see how well the gameplay of this was created. I luckily ended up getting Rin's route for my first playthrough, and it does keep me playing. I'll highly reccomend this to someone who ISN'T offended by the inappropriate humor, lol.

I tried getting to Rin's route first (cuz she's the coolest imo)

I love you now. That's all.

XD Kevin.

Same here Avo, Got Emi then Rin. Oh my god. Rin. Never has my brain experienced the slowest ♥♥♥♥ to exist like Rin. She's...I can't even describe it. I couldn't even understand her, which shows since I managed to get the bad endings before the good ending. ._.

At least I got the good ending first with Emi. NOW, LET'S SEE WHO I GET NEXT (Honestly I'm looking for Hanako)

[Suyo]

Hanako's route is awesome

Spoiler: show

*Hisao shows scar to Hanako*
one of the most emotional parts in the route
-> later
*Hanako shows scars to Hisao*
"OH SHE'S NAKED THAT MEANS SHE WANTS TO SEX"

MASTER OF ROMANCE RIGHT THERE

EDIT: By the way, why did Hisao have a condom with him when he came to Hanako? Did he plan to rape her? omfg plot twist

[KevinOC]

Not entirely important, but I decided to research what the main characters' names mean in Japanese.

Hisao: "Life story."
Rin: "Dignified."
Emi: Either "Blessing" or "Beautiful." Probably the former.
Hanako: "Flower child."
Lily: "Graceful," though there's a ton of other meanings.
Shizune: "Calm."


I couldn't find ♥♥♥♥ for Shiina, so I'll just assume it means "Death to the Country."

Iwanako translates to a type of fish.
