ReviewRyuu you have been making VNs for 2 decades, please put effort into your VNs. This is just something he wrote in a week with minimal effort for a quick Key pay-check.
Characters are very underdeveloped outside of Mia. The concept is heavily underutilised, using surface level ideas and not actually delving in to the psychological impact something like this would have outside of "jokes". I guess it had to be upbeat and fun but then there's also attempts at serious subjects which fall flat in here so like... who knows.
Blame Key all you want but Romeo still wrote Rewrite under their strict observation. Ryuu also wrote for that VN and his route was disjointed and a mess so Loopers is no surprise. At least it's better than Lucia Route.

Just read Rewrite or Umineko or hell even Higurashi.

< report >I do agree with this and I'd even argue that there is little to no trace of Ryuukishi07's writing in Loopers: he does mention that Key heavily supervised the script and made him change the ending, so there's that.

< report >100% agreed, Mia is the only character that has any semblance of writing. The entire thing is a joke. Regret spending money on it
