MASSIVE CAVEATS NEEDED. Did I enjoy this? Yes, enough to bother unlocking the true ending, despite what a pain it was. Can I actually recommend it to others? Uh. The engine is quite slow and prone to bugs, some major functions are completely broken, and the English translation is very bad. Not 100% incomprehensible, I could follow it, but you need experience in making sense of gibberish. Also, the early part of the game has some real slogs for no reason (exploring the ship, which is such a waste of time). The plot massively picks up momentum later on. If the concept interests you and you are the kind of person who has willingly slogged through the pain of machine translations and manually hacking games in order to get to the story, you can probably find enjoyment here. If you just want to read a VN, then read something else that's more accessible.

I learned about this game reading about the Lurongyu 2682 mutiny which is what the plot of this game is loosely based on (though they changed the Chinese crew into a Japanese one, for reasons, I suppose) and picked it up because it was marked down to a dollar. I regret spending that dollar. In fact, I feel like I'm owed that dollar back with some interest. If you're an English speaker turn back now. While the game's art and plot are pretty decent the text is so grammatically incorrect that it'll make your head hurt. Even if you're used to auto-translated, Engrish-y games, this is the worst I've ever seen. I don't even think I've ever seen a free game translation as bad as this supposedly professional release. Additionally, the text speed for the game is much too slow, even on the "fast" text speed setting. I feel that most people would have this issue as well, which leaves me with the suspicion that it was deliberate to pad the game's length. In short, don't get this. Even if you love visual novels. Your time is better spent literally anywhere else.
