Ok so this game does bear some similarities with a certain game called "SAKURA SPIRITS" in so much as you do get to see some semi naked female's but (and its a big BUT) this game actually keeps you interested in its story and the decisions you make can and do really effect your story and the outcome you will reach.
The story is like a "SCI-FI B" movie but its done with such a gusto for the genre that you can (and do) forgive its (shall we say) lack of self control when it comes to the characters and their really cheesy "B-MOVIE" style voice overs.
The graphics are of the static variety and the quality of hand drawn artwork is of a good standard,there are plenty of characters to meet and interact with (well as much as you can interact with characters in a visual novel) and many an outcome from the choices you make (MORE ON THIS LATER)
The sound and music in game is all done well,but as mentioned earlier the characters all sound like they belong in some cheesy "SCI-FI B" movie,but actually this is'nt to the games detriment and it seems to just suit the game some how (dont ask me why it just does ??)
The story is very well written and can take very different path's depending on what choices you actually make and what you decide to do,should you go meet your friend in the park ?? or should you stay in the office and work through your dinner break ??.
In a lot of these type of games it wouldent make much difference but trust me when i say that in this game every choice you make can lead you to one of many different and really varied endings (i havent discovered them all yet,and i wonder just what i will have to do to get them all ??)
I must admit that i bought this game because i liked the premise of it and i actually didnt expect it to be as much fun as it actually is,every time i play i find myself making a slightly different choice and this leads to one of the many posible endings,even at the start of the game you get a chance to find one ending that literally finishes it before it even starts.
And thats the simple fact of why this game grabs you,we as human beings will allways wonder what if ??,what if i did that? and what if i did this? and in this game you will be wondering that as you choose how to answer people and where to go all the time wondering what if ??
If you like visual novels then you will love this if not then it wont convert the people that dont and will never like these sort of games,me i have found another visual novel that i found both interesting and fun to play through at the same time,and thats what a game is all about being FUN.

Not just about choices for me but the fact that the things you do in this game actually effect the story,whereas in SAKURA SPIRITS its just 1 long story with 1 decision that really has no efefect whatsoever on the game (and for me i like to be able to make choices and see where that will take me)

true, if it´s about choices, this one has many :)

Yes sadly but in this game you cant be sure about the decisions you make and what they will cause to come about,which makes this game really quite a blast to play through ;)

I can confirm, the only choice made in sakura spirit was at the end, and...it didn't make a big impact on the story.

Yes there was but "OH MY GOD",i found "SAKURA SPIRITS" such a bore and you only get to make one choice and thats right at the end (least i cant remember making any choices through the game that mattered at all),this is a way better experience and a better visual novel by far (least in my opinion any way)

Hm interesting.. i couldnt care about the shallow characters (my problem with most of the Winter Wolves games as of late), there was more background story in the mentioned Sakura Spirits ^^
