There's a peculiar pleasure in catching someone sidestepping a question and wondering what they're hiding. The men in the mansion have a knack for making affectionate conversations feel faintly suspicious, so picking another response often seems worth the trouble. With the full game unlocked, the character routes, romantic illustrations, and branching story content are available to explore without further unlock restrictions. Some encounters are tender, others distinctly unnerving, and the changing endings give you a reason to reconsider earlier decisions. The brooding artwork suits the whole affair rather nicely, especially if you prefer your otome romances with a little menace beneath the sweetness.
