One of the best visual novels of all time, along with surprisingly interesting albeit easy gameplay. Must be played with its sequel game, so make sure you buy both at the same time.

I recommend this game only if you have played Prelude to the Fallen first. I had a tough time getting through the first half of the game, but man was the ending worth it all.

Honestly speaking, the pacing of this game is a mess. The vast majority of it feels like a slice of life filler arc. You will see a lot of scenes that basically just repeat the same joke or scenerio but just escalating it a bit further. However! It makes you grow attached to these characters and works wonders for the shift in tone when you head toward the finale. And what a finale ... Utawarerumono: Prelude to the fallen is a better, self-contained story. Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is arguably the best in the series but without Mask of Deception to set up al these characters it probably would not have worked so well. So, while it can be a daunting read at times, rest assured your time is not wasted.

first time trying VN, the pay off is really good after the story pick up from 15-20 hours of mundane daily life characterization & plot build up on the middle of the story, definitely will continue to mask of truth
