    Once again pre-empting ant and rms to claim those juicy internet
    points. The hoard is growing quite large now.

    Say whatever else you want about this Indie game, at least
    the visuals aren't a retro-eyesore. Unfortunately, these
    nice graphics are stuck in a visual novel, which is a genre
    I have very little interest in. All the moreso since the
    writing of this 'novel' is reportedly quite poor (even the
    little bit you see in the trailers is unimpressive).
    Definite Number-fodder that'll never get played, if I even
    bother to add it to the library at all.



    I'm getting so many Internet Points, I'm going to need a way to keep
    track of them all. Maybe a spreadsheet? ;-)

    Saw this, but pass to claim and post. I don't need those points. ;)

    I did play this when it was offered by Amazon Games, and finished it
    quite impressed. Much effort was put into the colorful (Impressionistic I guess?) artwork and music, which for me added much to the playthrough. I
    did not mind the writing at all, but it is a french game translated, which might come off as awkward. I'm not attracted to the VN genre in general, as they are static in nature, but after going in blind I came out of it feeling very positive about the experience.
