I was very engaged with this visual novel! The title should have warned me somewhat better about how horrific it was; and reading from the developers about the Joseon dynasty afterwards was super cool (the historical context answered a lot of the questions I had about the games theme, especially some of the burning ones that were at the core of the plot that I would have completely failed to have answered otherwise; I would recommend reading the short segment the author placed in the "bonus content" area at the end). The story's pacing was somewhat sporadic, and felt much more like a series of thought experiments and such than a cohesive plot. For me this was especially a problem because I had the attention span of a gnat and couldn't remember the diverse cast of characters' names for the life of me. This is pretty overshadowed by the brilliant setting the story takes place in which is unlike anything I've ever seen before. While it's definitely not the most polished thing I've ever played, it will definitely stick with me for a long time to come, and I think I grew a little from the experience. Not a lot, granted, but pretty good considering the track record I have with reading.
