Very good visual novel! It's different from what we usually see.
I Haven't finish it yet, but each character have a strong personnality. Some dialogue are very funny too!

If you like sci fi with very good writting quality go ahead!

A visual novel with mechas! And neat graphics! And a great soundtrack... I enjoyed the story, the characters (some are very special), the hard decisions to make... The game is super polished, I do recommend if you like sci-fi like me :)

I don't usually play visual novels, but this time was an exception and so far there is no disappointment. The artwork is beautiful, I love the landscapes and character design!!!
And the story is wonderful and so full of creativity, the future is interesting, the dialogues are interesting, colourful and some very funny, the characters have strong and versatile personnalities, I love them, especially the duo Chrys and Joa!!!
The music is enchanting, escpecially the rearrangement of the Tosca opera.
Congratulations to the whole team, you can be proud of the result!
I can't wait to finish the game!

Loved it, really good story and writings.
The start is a bit slow but story really hooks you when the main events begin.
Atmospheric OST definitely worth it too.
Strongly recommended for people liking SF visual novel with a complex and twisted story.

SBTA is visual novel I bought thinking I could play it with one hand. At this point, most of you know what kind of visual novel usually are in my library.
I must admit, I didn't find what I've searched for initially, there is sex in this game, but not buga-buga sex. As a matter of fact, it is only a line about a threesome that made me laugh so hard the I continued and didn't ask for a refund.
So I started playing it on my steam deck (it works fine) and I discovered that it took the place of my daily reading. And this really means what it means: the writing is that good! The main plot is well built (better that many movies), the characters compensate the lack of huge boobs with other kind of character development, and the end... My god it is so well made. I won't say more than it is very satisfying!

So is it the game I thought it would be? No far from it. But it is a great game that made me put my other hand on my desk and read!

amazing artwork with great details, and sumptuous music, immersive and atmospheric.
a great deal of thought was paid to the story and the depth of the characters and it shows. the dialogues are quirky and feel "real", helping to lean into the dialogues and personalities of the protagonists.
the soundtrack is out of this world on its own also.
definitely recommended, a high quality offering.

I spent 9 hours on my first run through, absolutely loved it and was so gutted when it ended - Please tell me there is going to be a follow up to this! The music, story and artwork in this is top tier. Such a wonderful adventure.

The beginning is quietly interesting, but this visual novel soon became an engrossing space opera. There is a firm emphasis on character development and world-building. The central cast is vividly realized through childhood flashbacks and extensive interactions. I liked most of the characters. They are intelligent, down-to-earth, and pretty easy to relate to considering the futuristic setting.

The story jumps between the goings-on of the cast, fragmented into duos or groups on missions. I really enjoyed the insight into the characters and their back stories. There is minimal action, and the plot is kind of light on impact in the earlier hours. This VN is more focused on gradual development of a large and varied ensemble cast and understanding their unique world. The mood shifts smoothly from dramatic to comedic and there is an air of mystery that kept me questioning some of the characters and their motivations.

The visuals and audio are pleasing. It's quite noticeable how numerous the backgrounds are. For many of the starting hours it seemed like every few minutes there was a new backdrop and a scene change. The OST ranges from good to great though I think it's missing a few lighthearted ambient tracks that would enrich certain sections of the story. Basically, funny or relaxed moments are often accompanied by silence. A couple lighthearted tracks would have been a welcome addition to round out the musical side of things.

Final nitpick, I wish there were more choices to make. There are some big choices to be made here but also long draughts of inaction, choice-wise. Lots of great VNs can be described that way but I always give an extra bit of my thumbs up to those choice-heavy VNs, even if they just provide an illusion of choice.

However, upon replaying the game and choosing different options I noticed some large changes after major plot points. Enough to make the replay value considerable. Also of note is a fantastic skip functionality that will speed through previously read text and works universally across all saves.

Overall, I enjoyed my time spent with this VN and it is easily recommendable to anyone who takes interest in the style and concept.

No exotic gameplay here, but the setting and characters have been written with care, making the story an interresting one to follow.
It's also nice to see that the artistic direction did not default to (try to) replicate an "anime" style and went instead in its own direction

Cool and nicely drawn VN where you make decisions for several protagonist in a story everyone can follow.

It's tough for a decent and original visual novel to stand out among a sea of cheap anime and adult games that appear to have been created using increasingly common AI tools. Other VNs just have their own narrative to rely on, such as this one, rather than unrealistic characters wearing skimpy clothing.

This story is terrific. Since it avoids overly mature or complex topics, practically everyone may enjoy it. After the surface was ravaged by the war and left part of the world under a cloud of radiation, a wealthy man decides to construct an underground city where everyone would have everything they need for free. People would merely have to perform tasks. Sadly, some people revolted, believing this to be a new type of enslavement.

You follow a team that’s trying to protect this city. The wealthy man, a number of security personnel with varied specialties, an AI that assists the squad, and the AI's developer make up the team. There is also a supporting cast, but some only appear in a few scenes.

The characters all have distinct personalities and desires despite not having voices. You discover a lot about their past and how they came to be in their current position. Although the team has already established relationships and functions well as a unit, the most recent attack has begun to cast doubt on the entire situation.

Options and controls are standard. The story advances as you click the mouse button, and choices are presented to you along the way. Because the story will end in either case, there are no right or wrong decisions. It just might not have a happy ending. The game has three acts and three endings.

Several playthroughs are encouraged, especially because it’s possible to fast forward the parts you’ve already seen. It's unfortunate that the only way to see alternate routes is to start the game over from scratch. It might be a restriction of the engine, but it would have been much simpler to pick a chapter or certain part of the story and carry on from there. There are many achievements that may be unlocked for each choice, which is an additional argument for multiple playthroughs.

The fact that the game was created using a well-known VN engine casts a tiny shadow over the experience. Although it seems like everything was created from scratch, the user interface has components that knowledgeable players of the genre would recognize. Thankfully, that is the only shortcut the game utilizes.
