So I waited until 0.5 came out and played it thoroughly before writing this review. I'm going to compare this game directly to the previous game made by Cari Once in a Life Time and also a game I found to be surprisingly similar Lucky's Paradise. WARNING There will be spoilers for all of those games mentioned and this one ahead so don't read farther if you don't want spoilers.
So directly comparing to Once in a Life Time first, this quite a upgrade in every way shape and form. Character development, overarching story, running gags etc. The most improved thing by far is the sound design and music choices that thing is GREAT definitely a few times during the game I stopped to listen to the music or felt off put by it the only downside is a few songs are used repeatedly, (Biggest example being the Twinkle Twinkle little star song from the Original Dead Space ad which while it hit hard the first time I kinda wished there was more than 1 creepy songs for the nightmare style portions.) The only real gripe I'll have is that once again jokes hit REALLY well the first time then just don't hit as well on the second which I mean just kinda happens when you know what's coming.
Comparing this to Lucky's Paradise on the other hand I would say I enjoy the art style, sound design and pacing on this one better. BUT I would say the overall story so far, scariness factor and ability to run multiple plots at once seems to go in Lucky's favor which I know technically has a A Plot in the Elections/Mayor with Maxy and her "alter", Sasha, Layla and Liz. Then you have the side plot of the Charpenters with Charlotte and her Sister as well as Mr. Nam and then you have the plot of the Yorokoshi with Yui, the Red and Blue Dragon's and Yuki. 3 Really well put together A, B and C plots that all kinda mesh into one. I would say if you like this I would STRONGLY recommend checking out Lucky's Paradise if your fine with the less linear more choose your own story pace style of VN's.
In the end both are good but not finished yet I would probably write a final review for both when they are done but as of right now both are really good VN's I would recommend.
