I'm praying for you.
well.... that saves me £20 I suppose...
what's so bad about it?
I don't know anything about it, I just liked the art and that's usually a good enough excuse to try a game lol

Everything.
Deus ex machina
Plot holes
Clueless heroine that only gets to shine in the bad endings.
2.5 routes are straight up abusive garbage. One guy actually has only half a route.
Practically love at first sight. Relationships have no time to develop.
All routes are similar-ish.
Norn9 is better than PC but it's terribly mediocre aside from maybe 3 routes. Nowhere near enough the quality of Code:Realize.
Three voiced heroines are nice, but there are too many routes and some things are left unexplained.
I see!
I really enjoyed Code: Realize, but I was a little bit frustrated that I had to go through every single ending to see the true ending. Maybe it's just me being lazy. Still better than no hidden path though.
I do always enjoy the hidden paths. Amnesia had a good one. So did Nameless, if I recall correctly. The My Secret Pets surprisingly had a very sweet and unexpected hidden route, but all of these were unlock 3 endings to unlock the hidden one.
Period Cube spoilers below:
I typed up my thoughts on each route on my Tumblr, where I go into more details about what I spoilered.
One route has a scene where the heroine is being mind controlled and it reads like a sexual assault/rape scene, the main character's brother is one of the love interests who undresses her while she is sleeping one night, and the half route dude physically hurts the heroine and is pretty much a serial killer in the game.
I typed up my thoughts on each route on my Tumblr, where I go into more details about what I spoilered.
Collar x Malice's true route also opens last. It can be annoying, but seeing how both games are story based it makes sense. Not playing Lupin's route last would pretty much spoil the other routes and the build up in those wouldn't feel the same.
I love you too <3
I finished Nurse Love Addiction and it was um interesting. Did the developers just throw darts at a board for some of the endings because
don't exactly seem like things Asuka would do. Overal I only really cared for the teacher's good ending.
cannibalism, sex slave sister, and corpse bride
Oooh boy, I guess I'm in for a hassle then; I don't like using guides my first time through. I sorta did on the first route of Code Realize cause I wanted to make sure I got the normal ending first, but since I realized they seem to let you choose to get Normal if you earn Good anyway it's not worth it now.
On that note, I'm still on my second route of CR but I'm hoping to get done most of it this weekend and then finish + start CxM next week. It's weird to be constantly playing VNs (alongside other games) like this, huh. Finally finishing Amnesia right to S;G0 to CR to CxM, which I'll probably take a little more slowly. And then DR V3, since if Chaos;Child comes out around then I'll just save it after V3 to be safe... but I might play Silver Case instead.
There's Bad Apple Wars to consider too, but I'll probably wait on that.
There's... a lot of good VNs out right now, huh.

Just a heads up, don't read the article posted today on Rice Digital about Chaos;Child. In addition to appearing very clickbaity
and being physically painful to read (it's apparently supposed to be satire based on the ESRB rating description or something), it contains extremely spoilery CGs. Thankfully someone I know who's already played the game saw the article before I did, so I didn't get spoiled.
(People have already contacted PQube about it, hopefully this issue gets resolved.)
"Filthy Chaos;Child PS4 references fellatio and masturabation [sic]"

Those tags
are NOT what I expected from that title holy fuck lol
I tried to warn y'all in the thread lol. Nurse Love Addiction feels like it was written by Nitro+Chiral peeps at times.
D'oh. Now that I remember, the engine the original Princess Evangile uses was crazy slow at times on my previous laptop. I'm wondering if I should just let the nvidia card in my current pc do the gruntwork to get a locked 60 fps at all times or if that's just plain overkill...
Then again that was a laptop with a Celeron processor and integrated graphics. Maybe the jump to an i7 will be enough lol

Moonstone's engine is just shit even on better hardware.
I wish we'd get Nitro+Chiral games localized.
... never expected to complain about that, huh.
Edit: Surprisingly, after spending some time with the VN, I realized that the upscaler the engine has built-in is pretty good. Even taking into account that the resolution of the assets is only 1024x600, they look decent enough when upscaled on a 1080p monitor. Dal Segno, a 720p title, looks worse on the same panel, go figure.
I wanna see some unsuspecting streamer somewhere get the Virus+Trip end in DMMd.

Any word on other Science Adventure titles coming to Steam, in the west?
Lol, are you really expecting 5pb to make good business decisions here?

I genuinely have no insight on them tbh
Just that I expected Steins Gate 0 and others to release after the first Steins Gate :/

They've stated plans for existing titles to be released on Steam for Japan, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they included English versions for the existing translations (Steins;Gate 0 and soon Chaos;Child). I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't, either.

IIRC Sekai announced Baldr Sky before finalizing their contract with Aroduc, then offered terms that Aroduc found unacceptable. Aroduc doesn't need the money so he walked away, and now Sekai is missing a mostly complete, very good translation of Baldr Sky that they were planning on having.

From what I notice, there is a lot of hatred towards SP from reddit VN community.

I have no idea how you spent 96 hours on it tbh. Did you leave it idling for 20+ hours?

Whoever stated Dies irae is a 50 hour game... I'm not sure how you'd come to that conclusion. Skipping all the voice acting and the extra content still would only let you shave about 30 hours off the completion time...
I'm failing to understand how one could bother with DI without skipping voices or even entire scenes, it's appalling how absolutely wrong is the pacing in this novel...I'm at the end of the Marie route and literally don't care anymore about anything but the end of it all (

Muv Luv Alternative better up my mood whenever it arrives because this whole experience just made me think I'm growing out of VNs...
BTW, what playing database is that? Looks cool.
Would be super awesome if we could get a physical copy, too. I wonder why it went digital in Japan?

Maybe they're trying not to get burned by used game sales. Guess they'd have to test out a digital-only title to see what happens.
Not sure how the graphic novel version sold, but the physical anime releases did not do so well. Now I don't think most of the ; anime adaptations minus Steins;Gate sold well but maybe doing the anime before the game this time made them hesitant about physical game copy costs.
