The reviews aren't great though, although I'm generally comfortable ignoring those. Players complaining about the English translations mainly.

 

I finished Day 2 of the demo, and they let you play up through Day 7, out of supposedly 100.

It's great so far! Feels just like Danganronpa except it has turn-based strategy.

I guess that fact makes it not exactly a visual novel but I'm not too hung up on it, and decided to post in this community anyway since the fanbase would be here. (And I mean, games like Sakura Wars three decades ago had the same formula and are called visual novels, so)

The English dub is really good so I kept it on English. Lately I'm finding myself doing that more often. English voice actors can sometimes have great range and expressiveness, probably helped that they come from a variety of different backgrounds. I appreciate that they pronounce the Japanese names impeccably in this game.

Japanese voice actors lately - either I'm old and have listened to them for too many years, or many of the newer VAs are limited in range and feel kinda stiff.

I've been slowly working my way through Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. I've seen the anime, and I loved Muv-Luv Alternative so it's nice to go back and experience the original story.

Even though I remember how most of the story goes, I'm enjoying it because of the comedy, and I like the serious parts too. I like how the writers flesh out the characters' emotions and clearly draw from some real life experiences when it comes to relationships and drama.
