ReviewProtagonist's been having nightmares due to a trauma in his past but it gets out of hand one day and got the girls around him involved. One of the rare times in this genre that actually has the other heroines still have some relevance and presence in a different person's route. Heroines have their variety but all of them have quite a strong presence depending on the situation. Lots of fun and sweet moments.

A few misgivings is one of the main heroines' route, while still good, feels like didn't get as much love by the writer compared to the other heroines. Also the best girl and her route is way shorter than the rest. Then the final route, while tied up the story in neat way, kinda undermined the other routes as well as the main lesson/message the VN tries to paint in most of the routes.

< report >Generally speaking, most people who played this in Japanese agree that Alice receives the least amount of love in this game compared to that of the other heroines. There are reasons for this, but I should note that the issue is resolved thoroughly in the extensive Fragmentation Dream fandisc, which is really a colossal after-story.
Edit: Oh, and Keiko is my favorite heroine, for some reason, though at first glance she seems less memorable than the others.
Edit2: Almost forgot. It needs to be mentioned that the Christmas arc is extremely tedious on a second playthrough, and in retrospect that makes sense, since it is the slowest-paced psychedelic arc in the story.Last modified on 2020-09-22 at 03:39

< report >I actually meant keiko had the least love of the main girls. not gonna elaborate too much, but you can just compare how the hot springs scene goes for her compared to the others, despite having a great outfit she's not on it compared to the others as well as not having that outfit for an H-scene/CG at least, and seriously, I paid close attention to the music and her character music only played 2-3 times through the whole VN.
