You know what I can't stop thinking about? The cottage interiors. There's this one room, early on, with a bamboo headboard that has these really obvious drill holes in it, like someone mounted a camera and then ripped it out in a hurry. The game never mentions it. No character points at it. No dialogue prompt. It's just there, in the background art, while some girl named Mira is explaining the "rules" of the island and her bikini top is doing this physics-defying thing where the string digs into her shoulder but the cup stays perfectly still. I spent maybe fifteen minutes on that one screen. Not because of Mira, honestly her route felt like the writer was working through something about their ex, but because that headboard detail made the whole thing feel grimy in a way the sex scenes don't quite earn.

The detective framework is a mess. You get these dialogue trees that promise branching investigation but it's mostly just picking which girl to interrogate while she's half dressed. I went hard into Sasha's storyline because she's the only one who seems to understand they're all fucked, and her CGs have this sweaty desperation that the others lack. But then you find her journal and it's just... empty? A texture swap of a book with no text. That's the whole mystery payoff for her branch. The horror elements creep in through audio design, weirdly enough. There's a looping ambient track of waves that slowly distorts into something that sounds like breathing, and it made the back of my neck prickle more than any of the scripted jump scares.

The translation choices are wild. Someone decided "nakadashi" should be localized as "painting the cave" every single time and I can't decide if that's genius or a war crime. The character bios in the menu refer to all the women by cup size before name, which, sure, it's that kind of game, but then there's this whole subplot about fertility rituals and island gods that feels like it wandered in from a different, better visual novel. I wish the voyeurism mechanic actually mattered beyond unlocking gallery slots. You're supposedly being watched but it never changes how anyone acts during the scenes. Missed opportunity.
