The story is very very epic, everything gets very very meta!!  liked a lot that aspect of the story (i was amused with a lot of parts in the story but i will reserve those for not spoiling anyone tee-hee but the part of development team commenting on the code the scarcity of budget was very funny ) and the world(and the inside world) build inside the VN; left me wanting more!!  i encountered little details while playing it: when you are talking to certain entities (by example: the one talking in  back of your plastic head ) the small menu at the bottom disappears and sometimes i didnt give proper attention to some dialogue and wanted to go back to re read it but the option appears after that scene so i just lost some dialogue :(. but besides that everything is very epic, congrats on a very cool vn! i wish on the future the game relies more on art assets ressembling fantasy 80's games :B
