ReviewThis game is horrifically boring. I finished two routes (Kurama, Hasegawa, started Amon) before giving up.

There were some brief impactful scenes, but even then the writers were committed to immediately removing any sense of danger or tension, completely ruining the inherent attraction of assassins. The rest of the narrative is padded with scenes so mind-numbingly dull I can hardly remember them except that they were a waste of time. Seriously, why is there a scene about defrosting a refrigerator?

This game could've been decent if it hadn't stubbornly passed over every single opportunity for action and drama, but unfortunately it did. So many missed opportunities. You have to have a high tolerance for monotony to get through this. No tension, violence, or suspense at all.
