So I just ended up dying in this game.

I was originally going to take Lilly's path, then I'm in a part where Kenji and Hisao get drunk for a whole day, before I seemingly start falling to my death.

what did I do wrong

I just picked up this game, I'm currently 2 hours in.

So far it just seems like a generic interactive novel with less appealing art and a unique story.
CGs appear very late in the game, actually. Don't worry, MOST of them are pretty good.

Are the background images just pictures that someone put through a photoshop filter? Everything is all pasty, but there's still a level of detail that would be unfeasible to paint/draw...

The level of realism but smudginess puts the art work smack dab in the middle of the uncanny valley, and it is driving me insane.

Edit:
Pictures. Definitely pictures.

Edit:
WHOA.
SUDDENLY ANIMATION.
HOLY SHIT.
Yes, Yamaku's gate is actually a real university's. A lot of the pictures are also from various places.

BTW the guy who animates these is pretty awesome, he works on them incredibly fast.

how come no one likes rin ;__;

Y'ain't alone sugar
Also, no h-game reward at the end of a path? How unfortunate.
The h-scenes are not the reward

They're the means
just a coupla clips.

and i found lilly's path to be kind of dumb for one reason:

I love you SZ. Be my waifu.
By the wahahai, I've found beta Misha and she's...creepy.



I don't know why, she's just creepy.

It's simple

No one likes you.

Protip: Be nice to Hanako too
No the protip is to accept that you're a gigantic wuss who can't walk to and from the town when Lilly and Rin ask you what's wrong.

asdfasdfa did not want!
None of the choices had any indication of what path I'd be ending up on >:|
it happens everyday no matter whatchu say

My life, where are you

Oh yeah, to go with either of them yes.
But for most of the girls you just gotta be earnest early on.

Apparently whatever I just died to is called by some people Kenji's Story.

Also this game can be unrealistically scary. You go from a happy-happy discussion between 4 girls on the roof and suddenly heart attack and dramatically creepy music.

It's like the game wants you to have arrhythmia.

Or maybe Misha is a better fit for that description.

I just came from watching an episode devote to Pinkie, and then went to play this, and in that short time I noticed many similarities. Sorry if that bugs you.

Anyway. Goddamnit Emi, why is your path plot thought out and so aggravating?!

Edit:
Just finished the Emi path... I'ma go look up a walkthrough for the other paths because I'm too lazy for trial and error....
