A nice introduction to bullet hell games for a small child and a fairly fun casual game. Don’t purchase this AND Abiko the Miko 2 – they are seemingly identical games.

The story is interesting because of mixing spirit world mythology with technology. Quite an interesting match that really holds. The game itself is more of a book. Generally you read. There are some choices and they are meaningful ones but they are really rare in comparison to the development of the story. I think the use of communication technologies as a way to create narration through spekaing in chat in this visual novel was a good idea. It gave at start necessary ignition for the story to unravel. After that there were many unnecessary repetitions of the same phrases and questions. It made just the novel more lenghty.

TL;DR: This is branching VN. For the uninitiated, choose your own adventure picture book basically. Overall, the VN is nice, but I have a nagging feeling that something’s missing. Perhaps it’s just an indication that I liked the experience and want more.

Pros:

  • Art is gorgeous

  • Music is nice

  • Story is interesting, although there are a few weird things here and there

Neutrals:

  • Branching is decent, although there isn’t as much of it as you would assume during the first playrhough.

  • Characters are, for the most part, believable. Human characters, I mean. Although some suspension of disbelief may be required, because character motivation might seem… well, shaky at times. Which is forgivable in light of relatively decent branching.
