Just wanted to say, if you haven't played this game yet, then you should. I don't care if you hate visual novels, because I was just as skeptical about playing it as you. But there's really nothing else like it out there. It plays with your emotions from the beginning to the end, and makes you regret every decision you make. The first three to four hours are a little slow, but develops the characters extremely well. The last half of the game will be like nothing you've experienced before. Stop reading reviews, and just play it. You'll understand once you've reached the ending.
