Plot: It was simple and sweet. The story was not as fleshed out but I appreciate that they don’t overladen with details. But instead, focused a little more on the couple. The routes were varied enough but can be a bit repetitive since the final goals ended up the same. But you needed to see them all to get the whole story. The guys were such cuties and there was someone for everyone’s taste. Astrum’s was my favorite. Followed by Radius’s. Then Libera’s.
There were two interactions you have with the visual novel. One was when you have to answer to the hero to raise his affection. And the second was when you were in battle. There will be a prompt to ask which action you wanted to take. For most part, there was one correct answer that will raise your Almighty skill. If you don’t have enough by the final chapter, it will be an automatic game over.
The best part was the routes were easier and quicker to achieve. In the few that I have played, you have to go through the same 4 chapters, for all the characters, before diverging to a specific route. However, in Period Cube, after Quest 2, you are already in a specific route. For each character route, it took about 8 hours+. And then, an additional 1.5-2 hours for the bad ending.
Graphics: I love the character designs and also love the fact that the characters sway back and forth, instead being stationary drawings. My only comment would be that their necks must be killing them, having it at that awkward angle all the time.
Technical: The language is in Japanese. The voice acting was spot on as always. I will mention that you can change the heroine’s name, but they will still call you Kazuha. The subtitles are in English. The translation was well done but not always exact to the Japanese. I only found a couple of spelling errors. There were no loading times. And you can easily get 100% completion as long you finish all the character’s routes. There weren’t much extras. The only thing that was unique was the “His Perspective” that can be viewed from the hero’s profile. It was nothing more than a quick snippet of the guy’s feelings for Kazuha (usually on a date). It was very short, nothing detailed and kind of left you wanting more.
Note: This was a fairly clean game. However, there was descriptive violence of characters being killed.
All in all, I was uber addicted the game. I finished it within a week. This is a visual novel. It is pretty much reading, with a few prompts to gain affection points. So, if you are looking for something that is more an adventure/RPG/puzzle based, the game is not meant for you. But for me, I loved it and I’m sad I finished so quickly. I did go back to replay some routes but other than that, I got my money’s worth. Definitely a must for otome fans.
The characters were less than okay. Astrum is my favorite, but even so, the story and the characters are lacking. It had promise-being based off of being in a video game and it's different from the average so I wanted to give this a try.
I do not like how the tactics you choose in battle affect who you end up with. How are you supposed to know if attacking or running will get you with who you want to go with? I had to look up a guide due to this. It's just not ideal or wise at all.
The MC is boring to me. After playing Code Realize, my expectations are immensely high. She doesn't have backbone and isn't charming at all. I know not every MC is going to be strong and independent, but that doesn't mean they can't be clever or quick to think and act, etc.
All in all, it's just okay. If you want trophies or just a VN to play, get it, but other than that, I don't recommend this.

I nabbed this game at a small discount from Amazon with a preorder (with prime you get a discount).
Completed Routes: Hiroya, Libera, Astrum, Radius, Demento
Happy Ending Route Only: Poyo-poyo
The play style of this is pretty typical. Your choices impact which characters you meet and your choices impact whether you get a happy ending or a merry bad ending.
The artwork is lovely and there are a variety of backgrounds as well. Each romantic interest has a good selection of CG’s to go with them, but you’ll need both happy and merry bad endings to see them all.
As far as the story: You really do have to go through and play different routes to have a firm grasp on what all is going on. Some routes give more background from your past than others. But the interconnections of the stories is great.
I gotta confess I really enjoyed some of the merry bad endings. Its kinda satisfying seeing a pretty messed up ending once in awhile. I did really like Sound Of Drop Fall into Poison which is a horror visual novel.
The merry bad endings made a great contrast to the happy endings. Because things really could have gone very very badly. The happy endings have more content. Also, you can go look under bonus features to see your romantic interest perspectives. It just reading and doesn’t come with CG’s, but you could get a kick out of them.
The main lead is okay. She isn’t overly exciting (except in some of the merry bad endings). I can’t really say what the romantic interests would be all that interested in her as a person.
The character development for the romantic interests is on point though. Each one has a clear personality and has their own issues going on in the real world (some more sympathetic than others). You have a range of ages, maturity and characteristics. However, they all are pretty boys and if you don’t like bishounen boys this might not do it for you.
Overall, since there isn’t a huge range of visual novels out there I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to add this one to your collection (even with the price tag). If you are sensitive to gore this may not be the game for you. It isn’t overly graphic in the gore department or in the sexual side of things.
There looks to be a much bigger push to bring otome games into the USA market and things are looking less stark. I’m pretty excited I already have preordered Hakuoki:Kyoto Winds (I’ve played the prevoius iterations on ps3 and on 3ds). And may end up pre-ordering Collar X Malice as well. I have acquired Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth, Norn9: Var Commons, and DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and may end up writing a quick look review on them as well.

art??
its just a front, all the art in the trailer is the good art and then idk... a doppelgänger takes over and there's proportion errors in a lot of cgs and one sprite is soooo bad LMAOOO, YOU CANT POLISH A TURD MAN FIX THE ANATOMY.
Backgrounds
ARE SOO COOL!! GUYS, THE BGS MOVE!! THATS INSANE i think the games woth it just for that looking back on it. but by the end i wanted to throw it out a window
MUSIC:
wow the music is so damn good, id open the game to listen to the music!! it was wayyy too good for this game!!
STORY:
will make you lose brain cells that's the best way to describe it. I'm not joking!! it could have been so much more but nope. Nope! routes repeat scenes because i guess u know, events overlap right.... but God, it draagggsss onnnn and makes the game feel long and boring they should just do totally different routes. a lot of the m a l e s *squints* are so annoying and i just wanted to ditch them honestly. hiroya was the most useless.... annoying... male ever. ugh id choke him!! overall dont yall DAREEE pay more than like... 20 or 15 dollars for this I'm warning you!!!!! just skim this game and enjoy the moving bgs and music!!
Side note: it's nice to support these when they come out if you can so that we can get more localizations.
