The verdict
A cozy, music-driven cyberpunk visual novel with memorable characters and little real gameplay. Skip it if you dislike crude sex humor, heavy reading, or the Dorothy character.
Great for
Fans of slow, story-heavy, atmospheric visual novels who like listening to characters and great music
Main risk
Dialogue-heavy, crude sexual humor may bore or repel you, with almost no real gameplay
What changed in the last 30 days
37 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly object to crude/sexual content and writing, plus one PC crash report. No single patch or update clearly explains the dip.
