I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME YEEEEAH!!!!

Awesome book would 100% recomend

Probably one of the best visual novels I've ever read. It takes a long journey to reach the true ending, but it's worth it. The true end was good — not really happy. It's just… sad. I don't even know how to feel about it, but it's really, really sad. But at least, in the end, all of Taku friends — the ones he truly cared about — were happy, and Serika finally became like a normal person. 10/10 play it. trust me. ☺

I don't think this game hits the same paranoid, suffocating, atmospheric peaks that CHAOS;HEAD does, nor was I as quickly captivated by the main character and the way the plot surrounds them, but it trades that for a much more consistently engaging cast, a story that feels more cohesive as a whole, and a much better set of character/additional routes.

This is a pretty good visual novel and entry to the Science;Adventure series. It has pretty good mystery elements and was thrilling to read through. As for some of the downsides, unfortunately the first couple of chapters are somewhat slow and boring, though it definitely does get better. The main story was great, however the subroutes for each characters, as well as the "true ending" you get after you go through all the routes felt monotonous and somewhat mediocre, it was a stark contrast in quality. They mainly served to tie up loose ends that the writers felt didn't have a place in the main route. Additionally, I wish you could just skip to the routes, since skipping through the entire game over and over to get to all the routes was quite a chore. Overall, I think that it is a good read, though if you stop playing after the main route and just wanna look at a summary instead, nobody will blame you.

Install CoZ patch for a better experience, and try all routes, for the true ending is very worth it. It hooked me from the start, finished it in 9 days, everyday I found myself eager to read more about the story, and even when I spoiled myself some part of the plot by looking too much into it, it still didn't prepare me for the emotional roller coaster of this story, playing it blind would have been a better experience as the first ending is always the same, and only then you unlock other routes, so only use a guide after first play through, also read Chaos;Head Noah before this one, which, is pretty good as well, and sets the atmosphere for this story.

This game is easily my favorite visual novel, it's longer than the other SciAdv games, but every second of this masterpiece is worth it. Play it with the CoZ patch.
