Amazing storytelling, boggled down a bit by Japanese cringe humour.

INSANITY! how can they write such complex story with crazy ideas and yet manage to explain every single thing logically. Everything about the game is really nice, art style, UI, dungeons, voice acting cast (FULLY voice acted). Highly recommend it if you haven't played a lot of visual novels (like me hehe) The only thing that i didn't really like that much is the use of profane anime troupes, and the p*** mag everytime things got serious.

[SPOILER ALERT]
I don't know if it was intentional but I've noticed a lot how Aiba's personality differs in real life from the somnium one. I also think this applies to the protagonist when the other self is revealed, they didn't feel the same in terms of personality and behavior etc.

I can't wait to play the nirvana initiative.

Amazing VN murder mystery with great story and characters. Really enjoyed solving somniums. Interesting time mechanics.

Apart from the stupid lewd protagonist trope, this is how you develop an envolving, well developed, funny and serious story driven game with actual decisions that affect the story. And with the genius aspect of going in between decisions to unravel the whole story.
