A game that combines Amnesia: Memories, Diabolik Lovers and Orange and ultimately is for fans of friendship-heavy stories that deal with grief as well as for fans who enjoy Goth-like vibes.

This game lacks in romance but unlike 7’Scarlet, it doesn’t really raise expectations for larger-than-life love stories that are fated and make the love interests say “aishiteru” after a week or so (yes, that happens in 7S). At the end of several routes in PotBB, the characters are starting to date and are like “I don’t plan on leaving you in the future but let’s just see what happens”. I really appreciate this more level-headed, more realistic approach to romance.

CWs (that I noticed): child death, grief, trauma, self-deprecation; sexual harassment by love interests (Karasuba’s & Hikage’s route), romance with child-coded/mentally-child characters (Kagiha’s & Monshiro’s route), nagging (Hikage’s route), undertones of abuse (Karasuba’s & Hikage’s route), depiction of & talk about suicide (Hikage’s route), conservative gender roles (esp. Kagiha ending), misgendering of POV character (Karasuba’s route)

absolute tearjerker, broke me, kagiha i love you :(
