Cute girl, simple story. Not outstanding and feels similar to other visual novels. But very decent. Had some issues with achievements clicking, left game and my progress reset. Nothing a quick skip couldnt fix but annoying nonetheless, possibly happened since I was using deck :/

6/10 story was a bit repetative but the H scenes were actually pretty good and so was the voice acting. It is mostly world building for the next episodes but its definitely dragged on a bit to much

Meh. its aight I know the whole story are all split into the four episodes so its meant to be short, but still, it was overall pretty... meh. With all episodes featuring different heroines and their separate stories. Its a lovey-dovey visual novel for all slice of life fans to enjoy. Characters were not bad, but not great either. I didnt get attatched to any of them personally. Its just another vn with the default tropes that come with every romance visual novel, with a little bit of murder mystery sprinkled in. My score: 6/10 Above average, but barely... oh yea and theres an patch for this game... if youre into that...

I just finished the 9-nine- series, and overall, it was an incredible experience! If you're like me, you have this series on your Wishlist for awhile and you hesitate to start it since it is separated in episode and it's expensive, or you saw reviews saying the first episode sucks and all that. The price is a bit high but in my opinion it's worth the 40$ (on sale) for the whole series. The first episode is a bit slow-paced, but that is totally understandable since it sets up the world, mechanics, and character introductions. It wasn't all that bad at least for me, some things were rushed like the romance but that's normal since it's mixed with the intro. once you get past the setup however, the series takes off. On episode 2, The chemistry between the main character and the heroine was fantastic. It has been a while since I laughed as hard at some dialogues. The voice acting did amazingly so it felt natural and engaging. From Episode 3 onward, the series reaches peak quality. I was hooked. The story delivers non-stop twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I literally couldn't stop reading until late at night. If you enjoy visual novels with great character dynamics, high stakes, and surprising plot turns, this is definitely worth reading!
