It's like in every scene they've found the perfect music track to accompany the story.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
this game really push what a "visual novel" can actually do. with the trippy visuals and artstyle and the soundtracks making every moment feels immersive (i often joked to my live commentary that this is how "interview calls" feels like), the crescendo and spiral in the important moments highlighted the intensity of emotion that was present in events on par with the brilliant usage of colours for the intensity, foreshadowing, and highlighting a certain part of the story, i think i like how the devs utilize the importance of colour psychology in the overall presentation of the game. this one plays or feels like a short fun thinking game due that it is really to piece somethign together specially if you are really paying so much attention to clues or read your notebook repeatedly (also to appreciate the art in the notebook, that is stunning) i really have fun deducting where the story might go on or come next based on the clues the game presented and the answers.

With my Channel called "Gloomistic", its gloomy, haunting Illustrations + SFX, and Storytelling, make me feel like it's a series that belongs on my Channel, like Z.A.T.O.

I found this interesting and enjoyed seeing how the game dealt with this and through the game's gameplay mechanics, I felt as though my choices had some weight.
