The Chrono Jotter

I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, even though it begins with an amazing kickstart. For some reason, the way the story was told made me feel I was playing the sequel or spin-off of another game. It was as the story and its mysteries continued to unfold and characters dynamics became clearer and developed that I was genuinely hooked. The last chapter/act was incredible; it finished the story satisfyingly and left me eager to know more about this strange, weird world the story built. The soundtrack is charming; I keep listening to some tracks from time to time. The art was pretty, and it is one of the main reasons the game caught my attention.

It's very rare that a game truly grabs my attention so much that I don't realize that 3 whole hours had passed while I was playing. This was one of those games where it felt like I had only been playing for 5 minutes. There is not much gameplay, more of choosing an option every once in a while, and there is no real difference in the story depending on previous choices. One pro of the game is that the game allows you to view previous choices and exploration without requiring you to reload an old save, and it's a required feature at parts of the game that tie in well overall. The characters shine the most in this game, and I wish there was voice acting as it is strangely quiet for portions of the game, but I didn't realize the lack of voice acting until towards the end of the game. I would highly recommend this game, and their sequel game. Great writing, great characters, Highly Recommend.

Hey, what if there was a world where we were toxically codependent BUT we could kill each other temporarily as many times as we wanted? And we were both girls? Maybe even roommates? And it was just us, and a few other toxically codependent girls? Would that make your cold heart flutter? Would it? An investigation VN that becomes something of a social/drama VN, with all manner of hints dropped in the first act that pay off well later on.
