ReviewTl;dr it's a glorification of "creators"

Production quality is over the top. Ost, background, characters even the side are all nothing but excellent. Also the consistency of the game, mostly it's good. Every character has their input on every route. Some of the writing can also be subtle and quite meta

On the other side of the writing, however, some gremlins can be spotted. The story relies heavily on coincidences. It makes the game world feels small, as if that many coincidences can happen. It's also not so down to earth, it's not easy to believe that some middle school kids can make an ADV game or multiple award winning books. The pacing is godawful, it's too fast and the time jump is nuts. It can range from a few hours to a few MONTHS of time skip despite not solving their main problem,giving the impression that they are just dragging the problem. Because of the time skip, some process can be oversimplified, making the game shallow.

H-scene is good however all of em have the same pattern. The routes are pretty standard, not much of a problem. True route itself is pretty good, some might disagree, and that's fine. The hints on the common route can use some subtleness as it is a bit too obvious. The hints of the true route itself is pretty subtle.

The writer tries soooo hard to make sure the characters and the story doesn't end up the way like the trope rich games he/she, or the characters made fun in the game. And it shows, as it results on the lack of detail on some part and the only strong point of the game is the characters. Honestly the concept of Adolescent syndrome is more interesting than the game's whole story.

Despite the mountains of problem, i still recommend people to try it. It's quite the relaxing mellow-dramatic charage, some part of the game can still make me glued onto my screen for hours without feeling bored
Or at least experience Kiriha's route. Her gap moe is top notch

< report >I noticed you made both a review for this and Enki Dekinai.

Honestly, despite Sousaku getting more reviews, Enki Dekinai seems more interesting because of being more down to earth, but both seem interesting. I hope more 'production' like VNs like this get made.

< report >I like Enki more, as it is not halfassed or being pretentious with it's premise (unlike sousaku). Both are good games tho nevertheless
