Post-game review:
This was an absolute treat. The staff-san are incredible for pulling off such a high-quality production and everyone who worked on it can be proud of all they've accomplished. The art is STUNNING, the music is a perfect accompaniment, and the plot engages the player while not revealing too much at one time. It was a damn good time- and shout-out to the boys for their voice acting chops! Everyone brought so much life and personality to their characters. Flayon was in his element, Axel committed to the role, Shinri was the calm in a sea of unease, Altare knew exactly what he was doing, Hakka was clearly having a blast, and Bettel entirely popped off with his performance. It all worked together to make a compelling experience for the player, and once I started I couldn't stop until I'd finished all the routes!
From the very start, it was clear how much care went into the creation of this visual novel, and it shines all the more for that passion. It's a must-play for Tempus fans who are comfortable with dark subject matter, and it's priced incredibly well for the amount of work that went into it. (Toss in a tip if you can!) It's an audiovisual spectacle in all the best ways, so if you're a fan of the boys -- dig in!
