During the game,
there were some instances where I found myself placed in unusual
locations that I didn't expect, and this created more immersion for
me. For instance, at one scene change I was suddenly sitting inside a
car talking to someone else in the driver's seat. I liked that the
game framed the scene by positioning me at the best angle to observe
the events. Moments of action were highlighted in typical VN fashion
with the presentation of a static art image (known as a CG.) These
were often displayed as smaller, flat panel art, framed almost as if
they were taken right out of a comic book. This approach enhanced the
feeling of being inside a manga/anime world, and it was a nice touch.
The audio of the game was well put together, with a subtle soundtrack
that enhanced the mood, sometimes crescendoing to enhance the tension
or dropping out altogether to let silence weigh on my nerves. Sound
effects weren't distracting or overused, but served to augment each
appropriate moment. The overall presentation was very fitting for an
anime setting with a dark undertone.
