Alright well, this game is basically the Time Cube in VN form written by a chuuni as fuck Japanese guy who respects Hitler "as a dreaming politician, outside of good/evil" and hates the fuck out of religion. This game is basically 5+ hours of him ranting about his view of the world and Gnosticism and so on. On the one hand there are very interesting ideas in this, since the author is both insane and seemingly very well-read. On the other hand, it is a chore to sit through. At one point he writes a thesis on Gnosticism that would probably be about 100 pages long in print if not more. That's when I started holding the CTRL key.

The first hour or so of the game is fairly entertaining as the author chronicles history and lays out the groundwork for his idea, some of which were actually intriguing to me. One chapter was a rich person in the modern era trying to influence politics to maximize happiness in Japan, and he had some keen observations I think about happiness and capitalism and so on. But once the Gnosticism rant hits, shit hits the fan. The game loses all structure and descends into pure ranting. I want to emphasize that we're talking literally hundreds of pages worth of text with no plot, no characters, just the author ranting. Pic related is what it turns into.

I can appreciate purely intellectual ventures, and in fact I think someone might come from this enriched. But you have to go in carefully. The author is mentally unhealthy and ideas can travel like poison between people. If you can wade through his rants without getting bored or being influenced by his more poisonous ideas, you might find this game worth giving a look - it's quite unlike most VNs and covers topics you might only find in historical/philosophical papers elsewhere. Again, 100 page treatise on Gnosticism in this. But most people, myself included, will end up either bored or thrown off by the author's ranting. An interesting VN for sure, and I'm sad to say I can't call it a hidden kamigem.

Look, I get it. You like big tits and you're mad I don't think highly of the pervy moege that are all the rage these days. My bad. Believe me, sometimes I wish I could enjoy the trash that the modern industry shovels out too. I envy that you can eat garbage without noticing how bad it is. But some of us our burdened by a higher IQ level.
