Dramatical Murder is set in the near future on the fictional island of Midorijima (碧島), Japan. At some point in the game's recent history, the island was privatized by the powerful Toue Konzern (東江コンツェルン, Tōe Kontserun) and turned into a resort called Platinum Jail (プラチナ・ジェイル, Purachina Jeiru), with the island's original residents being forced to live in the Old Residential District (旧住民区, Kyū-Jūmin-ku). Protagonist Aoba Seragaki lives on the island and works at a store named Junk Shop Mediocrity (平凡, Heibon), hoping to live a simple life. However, after being forcefully dragged into the popular cyber game Rhyme (ライム, Raimu) with its virtual world and its use of Allmates (オールメイト, Ōru Meito), mobile devices that usually appear as if they are the owner's pets, and hearing rumors about disappearances involving Ribstiez (リブスティーズ, Ribusutīzu), turf wars between groups, all semblance of a peaceful life for Aoba ends.

i got clear's route! no complaints there as he's my fave along with noiz. i didn't aim for any particular guy and instead just chose the options i thought aoba would choose, which is how i usually like to roleplay for a visual novel's first playthrough.

tbh the game isn't all that special so far (i'm about halfway through), but i trust the friend who recommended it to me so i'm still looking forward to whatever happens further in.

my friend is watching me play this (they used to be obsessed with it back when it released) and i definitely recommend the two-person experience for maximum fun. specifically 1. the game (or the intro, at least) is quite slow and having someone along to make fun of aoba's hilarious mary sue syndrome becomes a plus 2. sex scenes are …

Summary from VNDB: A time far in the future. In Midorijima, an island to the southwest of the Japanese islands. People and nature once coexisted on this plentiful island.
However, due to being purchased by the leading company of Japan "Toue Company", one third of the island has been changed into the extravagant amusement facility "Platinum Jail". Equipped with the latest cutting edge technology, Platinum Jail has gathered attention. On the other side, the islanders who became victims of forceful development are forced into the "Former Residents District", and have no choice but to carry out their lives in a place that is by no means prosperous.
The protagonist Aoba spends his days working part-time at the junk shop "Heibon" inside the Former Residents District, living together with his grandmother Tae.
Among the young people of the Former Residents District, a certain game has become popular. In "Liebstiez", teams are created and days of human-bullet turf wars unfold. On the other hand, "Rhyme" is an electronic brain online game using a virtual world as its setting which "Rhymers" are going crazy over. Aoba shows no interest in either one, thinking that it would be nice to just live peacefully with his grandmother.
But the disaster that will shake up those peaceful days has already begun...

why is aoba so anime. i want to send him on assertiveness training.
anyways, it was fun but i feel like it could have gotten the same plot points across in half the time, and that's coming from a person who loves visual novels and games with lots of plot/dialogue.
also, clear is bae.
