This is one of the best games of its kind. There isn't another with the same renders or playability and content. Ripples no. Not at all. There is another, in demo stage. Perhaps DesertStalker. Most visual novels are a pointless comparison of clicking endlessly through a bunch of illegible crap, and a very stupid story by somebody, where you might as well be watching a film. Except it's in crude animations, and it has no playability, options, choice that doesn't variate. This game had it, and a much darker side. Let's face they're just pixels. Not love.
When it's a game like this, it should have seen its updates regularly. At least an indication of when it will be updated and released. Progress. There aren't many that compare at all.
The few that compare aren't a comparison. Everybody playing these games were mostly waiting on this one and others. Not crap
