7.5/10 Great game if you like ntr, if not then I wouldn't recommend it as the game centers around it. I've played around 11 hours and I've yet to see all of the routes, although with a guide (that I do recommend using) you'll probably get through it quicker. This game's strong point is in my opinion how it creates the atmosphere for each route, often by giving you hints as to what's happening, along with certain spots where you can peek a scene before watching the scene through the diary. It slowly builds up the corruption and tension throughout the days. Although the art is not the most detailed or refined, the rougher art style gives it this dirtier look at times which enhance the scenes imo. At first I wasn't that interested in the main girl and her look, but I think the tomboy aesthetic eventually grew on me and fits within the game's themes, although I still prefer the older sister. The game might give you the idea that you can prevent the ntr from taking place, but the only way to "protect" the main girl is by not participating. I don't mind that though as choosing a route was my intention anyway (I didn't play the game for nothing to happen). The antagonists in each route are also very scummy people, so if you're someone who's kind of on the fence about ntr, I wouldn't recommend it, as you'll likely not be able to stomach the events that take place. I recommend following 1 route at a time, as they can take up time and choosing 2 at once will likely lead to 1 taking priority and the other route not having enough time to finish. The game perfectly encapsulates what makes ntr great or terrible for some. It also has way more content that I expected it to have, but I also bought it on sale if I remember correctly. This was actually the first game of its kind that I've bought and I don't regret it.

some really great writing and scenes, wish there was more stuff with the old man and the night club
