« I got mixed feelings with this one. Story was definitely more interesting and engaging than first episode and Sora is a really charismatic character (her VA is REALLY good) but oh god why the incest... »

« I have mixed feelings for this one because of the romance, but this writing was absolute cinema and makes episode 1 feels weak. Looking forward to play the ep3. This is the true broski moment »

« God knew I'd be too powerful with a little sister, so he decided to nerf me by not giving me one. Sora is best girl. »

« The story gets confusing sometimes, it's better than episode 2 tho. I like the soundtracks and the chemistry between Sora and Kakeru.. quite chaotic ngl. »

« Story thickens heavily compared to the first chapter where you really only get little bits of lore here and there, this chapter really lays a lot of it out. Liking the story so far, excited to play chapter 3. »

« why in the world is palette so good at writing compelling routes with incest.... sigh... probably the one I enjoyed the most because Sora is so over the top. The H scenes were some of the hardest I laughed in the whole series. »
