Nice take on a bland subject. Visual novels, point and click adventures and puzzles of all sorts must rank among the most awkward to review. In some ways it's amazing any of them actually get off the ground.

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

Currently playing the PS4 version (no review; just playing it to play it), and I can imagine writing a review for this would be difficult without sounding like writing a manual.

Originally released on the PlayStation 3, Wii U, 3DS and Vita in February of 2014, this (sort of) new release is an overdue treat for puzzle fans who long harbored resentment upon realizing the Japanese gamers got yet another cool thing the rest of the world didn't. You know you're out there, clandestine resenters!

No joke, I almost bought the Japanese version of this game last year because I thought it would never get a worldwide release. Good thing I held off on that.

Also, yeah: surprised I wasn't loathing the voice acting in this game, especially with so many characters sounding so squeaky and bubbly. They have a charm to them. Though, still wish there was an option to turn it off... unless I'm not looking in the right place. At least they gave me the option to speed through or skip the dialogue.

I head spaceshit noises.

I didn't put it in my review, because I didn't think the reference would work for probably 80% of people who might buy this release, but the story cutscenes reminded me a lot of the ones included in the Hyperdimension Neptunia games. Thanks for reading (and for sympathizing), both of you!

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
