The second volume of Grisaia’s story arc keeps the emotional punch intact, with 31 positive out of 37 mentions for its narrative alone. More than three out of four players have logged between 2 and 10 hours, yet a vocal minority still calls the price too steep for what it delivers.
What it's about: A VIP disappears en route to Japan, and it's up to Mihama students Rena, Tohka, Chris, and Murasaki to help investigate, with the twins from Kyousen Sakuragaoka in tow. Recovering the VIP pushes their minds and bodies to the brink, and to top it all off, Rena and Haruto’s past is revealed as well!
