This will essentially be a constantly updated review as I go through the game.(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!! FOR THE WHOLE GAME)
PREFACE/DISCLAIMER: I have quit this game despite playing it religiously for weeks, I found a certain twist and other things so beyond disgusting I couldn't bare to keep playing, this game is not worth the effort unless someone spoils something which could remedy the rotten twist. This is a terrible shame too, as I really loved the game before that, and certain routes were amazing until...that one twist.
Not worth the effort, this review is closed.

I will break it into each route, each ending, and my own personal thoughts on it.
To begin!
(COMMON ROUTE: FINISHED: GRADE: S)
Dododod...write stuff hereee
Before anything I just gotta so the voice acting is SOOOO GOOD, ecsp Takumi, like wow, it's really good, it makes me laugh when I need to laugh, cry when needed, it's great.
5/22/2025: UPDATE, UHM, MAJOR FUCKING SPOILER FOR ROUTE 0, 2ND SCENARIO, BUT I GOT TO THAT STUPID DAY 70 REVEAL AND DAMMIT, NOW I FEEL LIKE I WASTED ALL OF MY TIME PLAYING THIS GAME....I AM NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED AND I AM NOW STRUGGLING TO FIND THE WILL TO KEEP PLAYING, WHYYYY KODAKA WHHHHY THE FUCK ARE THEY ALL SIBLINGS??!?! WHAT!!!!!!!!11 Okay they aren't like actually "related" because people share common ancestors, but they treat each other like tha tin certain routes whereas others they're all kissing...one route they repopulate the earth or whatever, but I don't know, that little inclusion irked me. IF they wasn't any romance routes I'd be like, ""wow these twists are so evil," but uhm, all that talk about epic yuri and yaoi...uhhhhhh...I need to play more because maybe this is just a fake reveal or something but if not I'm gonna have to call this game quits I think,? I don't know the fuck. >XC EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I am NOT playing anymore, so gross, why kodaka, you couldn;t just let V3 be the end of these awful twists huh,...gross.
(KILLING GAME ROUTE: FINISHED:GRADE: S+)
I fucking cried, this was really fucking good, and very long and quite fulfilling too. Gay and silly as well, awesome. I will explain more in time, but this route also reminds me of my goals to make it to Philadelphia in the strangest but most real way lol. Amazing, 10/10.
I find it awesome that yuri and yaoi save the day also.
WORLD''S GREATEST POLYCULE.
I liked where Nozomi's character went too for this route.
I liked how it wasn't a traditional killing game too, but a literal... "KILLING" game, as in kill as many as possible till extinction.
Genuinely though so cute, best polycule ever.
Also they all make it in the end! That was great! Even if all truths weren't revealed, this was a very bittersweet ending, and a lot still survived in the end.
Also, being such a violent killer and after hurting so many people, learning to keep living from that, awesome.
Also naming the true ending for that route "Hope from Despair," tongue and cheek, but cute and fun!
PLUS!!! THIS ROUTE WAS LIKE 10 HOURS...for something that isn't required to see the true true ending, I was so glad there was so much wonderful effort and art put into it, genuinely a nice route to flesh out the characters who were not explored as much, plus...those always happen to be my favorite. Everywhere sharing their dreams for the artificial satelite was awesome too, it was cute, Yugamu wanting to become a doctor, Darumi wanting to write VNs with the worst of her life and the best of it, and also the whole epic polycule thing.
SSS+ !
BEST ROUTE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
(ROUTE 0: INVESTIGATING)
Day 50 something so far, really good, this game has so SOOO many routes, goodness!!! I think this one does end at some point?
(BOX OF BLESSINGS: INVESTIGATING)
I heard this was the worst route in the game so I had to play some of the worst ones first. Note that they aren't "worst" as in intentionally bad all the time, but there are "joke" routes meant to serve different genres. It seems pretty good so far though so I don't know what's wrong with it
It still seems really good, maybe repetitive, but still really fun, the sweet moments are outweighing anything bad so far.
I really wanna cosplay Hiruko, Darumi, or Takumi or all three haha (BOX OF CALAMITY: INVESTIGATING)
Really fun and awesome! I like how it toys with horror and it's pretty fun that way hehe, I like the CGs too, and the lore drops.
(EVA: FINISHED: GRADE: D-)
Uh...this was a super short route but uhhh...uhm...I can't even say this was someone's fetish because it was so short. I'm glad at least despite Eva being a mom she is supposed to be around the age of the others, but still those two endings uhm? They both randomly fell in love? uhm? This route is literally only like 30 minutes but doesn't make much sense given the choices that led to it. The rebellion base alongside a little bit more of Eva's character being explored isn't horrible, but this does feel like someone's fetish or a route that needed to be fleshed out a lot more...uhm both. It wasn't even like...trying to service anyone I think? But each route has a different writer...and when some routes are like 10 hours long whereas others like this are only an hour, it makes sense why it's so..uhm, but the character writing is pretty consistent.
(ROMANCE: INVESTIGATING)
I didn't mean to end up on this route lol, I kept jumping around the timelines, but it's actually not super weird and pretty cute, keep the yaoi, yuri, and polycules rolling.
This is pretty epic though.
Uhm not this, but.
I've been in that situation before! I like that Kurara wears military lolita like I do, that's pretty awesome!
Actually this is pretty fun lol, but I gotta add the other screenshots and everything.
My kind of movie?!?!?!
(MYSTERY: INVESTIGATING) The story lock was really cool, welcome back VLR! I'll be able to read you who knows when!
(SPECIAL FUNDAMENTAL: INVESTIGATING) The penultimate final route, I will unlock it eventually, I've heard it's really long too, I really like the reveal that you time loop, not rewind. Plus, Hiruko is awesome, she's kind of like Phi in the way that she loops too, always love that.
