Does Flowers pick up after the first episode? Started this series looking forward to a mystery game, not that I was expecting Caucasus or Cartagra and I knew from the get-go the game was going to be noticeably lighter, but this was like watching paint dry.

Nothing of interest happens until the ending's sudden sequel hook and it's not like the character interactions really deliver either. Frankly I couldn't really bring myself to like any of the cast save for perhaps Erika who at most is half-decent, and even that's stretching it. Also like people on EGS complained, mystery wise much of the stuff's way out there with several retarded parts where the solution to the mystery of the chapter relies on obscure real life trivia that the game itself never bothers to mention even once until it's suddenly time for the final explanation where the protagonist gets to shine for being "so smart" because she just so conveniently happened to know the relevant tidbit of information, like what the hell is wrong with this writer. Also the game is so much drama focused and the causes for "mystery" usually so little, tangential and innocent, sometimes outright retardedly convoluted for no reason like the motivation for twins' switcheroo it feels like the game could've easily trashed all mystery parts entirely without it affecting the main plot in any way whatsoever.
