April 2026
The best localized SAGA*PLANETS visual novel by far. It is a gripping mix of romance, mystery, and horror, in that order. Even if it doesn't all thematically connect very well by the end of it, the message is still strong and charming I and this is by far the studio's most competent work to date. While this would have worked much better without the H scenes and plot lines, at least the romances aren't marred by a bunch of random threesomes, and other routes don't just outright spoil the intrigue of other ones. The foreshadowing here is all done very well, leaving enough for you to piece the story together, but not enough to where it feels like they throw it all in your face. Unlike many other visual novels, if there was a fandisc for this game, I genuinely would want to play it. I feel like the secondary heroine really didn't get enough resolution and deserved a more definitive ending. It's still marred by a bunch of really weirdly convenient things, a few random plot threads not being totally resolved or at least not resolving very well, and a bit more. For me, it felt like Chaos;Head, Wonderful Everyday, and Umineko all merged into a YuzuSoft VN with actual stakes for once. It's almost on the level of Visual Arts/Key... but a bit raunchier, darker, and doesn't land as solidly... all in all, it still stumbles onto its feet in the final act.

A perfect blend of usual Saga planets comedy and sad but not too depressing story. Great contemporary fantasy setting, good for people who love ghost related settings. All the characters are fun and friendship moments are sufficient. Hatsuyuki is a likeable protagonist once you get used to the setting. Common route is good and the hook certainly is there. The OST is great, has some of my favorites.

A somber and bittersweet winter story, steeped in teenage angst. It is presented as an eroge but this is a plot driven story with heavy romantic element. Story is deeply symbolic and (if you accept symbolism) relatable, especially for those who remember how they were as teens. R18 scenes are.....really bad. Anatomy is all over the place and timing feels random, like they were inserted as an afterthought. Its hard to comprehend what this is created by the same people who made Kinkoi. Really, should've just go without, it wouldnt have damaged the story

Pros: - The game has an excellent prologue and sets up the premise very well, with cliffhangers that consistently spark enough curiosity to keep players engaged with the subsequent parts. - 4/5 routes have amazing quality, ranging from great to flawless, it's hardly to complain about anything. - The atmosphere, romance, storyline, plot twists, and more are all meticulously done, with just the right length to avoid feeling dragged out. The background stories are integrated seamlessly, enhancing the narrative without diluting it. - The music is phenomenal, both background tracks and vocal songs. Every appearance of "Freak of Nature" start, its gave me the feeling that i'm travel back to UBW route in FSN. - Sakura’s True End resolves all the major questions raised throughout the game. It's also have a beautiful romantic story. - Kawano Hatsuyuki is a main character with a brilliantly development. Cons: - Nozomu’s route is a weak point, as its quality falls below the overall standard. However, it still has some of pros, especially Sai, a character I initially thought was just a supporting character, has a larger role than my prediction. - The H-scenes feel quite random. Overall: - Despite some cons, I believe they’re forgivable as they don’t significantly affect from the experience. My experience with Hatsusaku is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Score: 10/10

Yet another BEAUTIFUL visual novel from Saga Planets, drawn by the talented Hontani Kanae and Toranosuke, with an equally amazing voice cast, but with a TERRIBLY BORING story plot. Seriously. Art: 10/10 Voice cast: 10/10 Plot: 2/10 I managed to finish this one but only because I pushed myself to keep going back to it. The MC is a royal jerk, boring, clueless, and when you finally get the storyline secrets revealed at the end, you no longer care what they are. If I could give this a neutral rating I would.
