Played through the first chapter of this game, which took several hours and felt like a drag to get through.

This game is like the definition of style over substance. The production values here are PEAK, the animation and sound design is great. Trouble is, the actual gameplay isn't very good. It's literally just a matter of "click on everything and read the text". I don't necessarily mind a lot of text in like a visual novel format, but here, it's just a lot of extraneous fluff that feels more like padding than intentional design - unfortunately a hallmark of a lot of modern Japanese games, I find.

There SIX chapters. I kinda wanna see where the story goes, because it seems really interesting, but oh my god is the gameplay ever boring.
