This one really sucks you in. It is a Touhou story without a single youkai to be found. What it lacks in horrible monsters turned to cute girls, it dives deep in the unknown and peeling back layers that maybe should have been left alone. While the union of Maribel and Renko is a constant and no surprise, the world building here is a giant mystery. Even after progressing down both the available endings, I want to know more and see the conspiracy unraveled. The game is gorgeous, and you quickly forget this is a jam game and not a commercial release. That every part of the UI has clearly been developed from scratch gives unity to the presentation. Playing in full screen is indeed preferable, so you can get properly immersed. What I had trouble with is determining which decisions mattered and how. I got the true ending my first run, and then reversed all my choices to get the bad ending. Yet only two or three choices seemed to have any "bad" result. If there are to be more ending in the future, a skip text option is going to be necessary as there was a lot of clicking and slow scrolling text to even get a second ending. If you like Maribel, Renko, or Steins; Gate you should be playing this VN.
