TW: Psychological abuse. Emotional abuse. Gas lighting..

cara, vou ser bem sincero.. a historia do jogo nao eh ruim, muito pelo contrario, uma historia muito boa! mas cara, a arte do jogo.. a diferenca entre os sprites e as cgs eh ridiculo.. quebra TODA a imersao do jogo, nada contra o artista, mas eu preferiria jgr esse jogo inteiro sem as cutscenes e apenas com os sprites doq com as cgs horrorosas e com a anatomia e pintura ridiculas. jogo muito bom, mas a arte estraga a imersao, e chega a ser engracado de tao feio que eh.

It was interesting enough for me to finish it all, but still obviously raw. If you finish the true ending for Yuu as your sweetheart, it still says "Mom didn't get better, but I will" for YUA. What? Why would she get better, when Yuu is the one who's sick. Was it that hard to switch the text for only TWO true endings? Also what's up with the illustrator that did sprites + ending cutscene, did they refuse to do cut scenes in the end (yua with the knife, siblings hugging etc)? They looked bad. Considering the overall writing and plot, I do not dislike it. The lack of choice is understandable, since we're supposed to follow along the logic of the victim of abuse, I just found it tedious and too unimaginative. The whole mc eating in the hospital and the friend always being there, too, just doesn't make sense to me. Does the hospital just let anyone in and lets them do whatever. Does the friend has nothing else to do other than come to hospital to never even visit their sibling. As a person with CPTSD, am I supposed to believe the ending dialouge about how one twin doesn't talk to another one because boo hoo they are so triggered, but they love them anyway? Your twin will die, get over your bs. The characters seem two dimentional. The backgrounds are nice if you don't think about them too much, for the number of times they are used, they lack detailes and quality in general (the perspective sucks). But it's not all so bad, the concept itself is nice. I can see what was supposed to be shown, and it was done relatively well, the team just lacks much experience, we forgive them that for the FREE game. I want to highlight Yua's VA, she's fantastic. So good that Yuu's route sometimes (mistakingly I assume) uses her replicas. The crying, the screaming, the convincing — literal chills. The Vuu's VA is not as good. the forced laugh is killing me, but the ending scene with the screaming is pretty good. Just for the fact that there is a voice over we can pray for the team's entire bloodline. I also enjoyed the fact that we can change twin's names (who'd need that though) and pronouns, so I could imagine two lesbian twins fighting for my attention. Don't listen to those who tell you the game is not worth playing, I swear, there are much more VNs that have much more hype, but are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this isn't one of them. It's not ideal, but try it out. Thank you to Hydrangea team.
