I can't be the only one here who's been playing this.
Just finished my first route (Ohtori Naru). I can certainly see why this game took so long to make. As improbable as its premise is on some levels, the internal logic is almost jaw-droppingly airtight. Each time I found something new to be skeptical about, it would get casually addressed a couple of scenes later.
While the two games really have absolutely in common worth noting, I might put it in the same category as something like Sumaga--Oretsuba is also rather massive in scale, and innovative, and very ambitious, and left me thinking that the writer must have pretty big balls, and it's definitely going to have a lot of strong detractors as well as fans. I'll make spoiler-tagged comments once I get to the true end...
Am going for Asuka next.
ETA: Oh, and the game system is so beautifully convenient, it brings tears to my eyes.
