I'll start this off saying this is the first time I've ever reviewed anything, so feel free to give me advice on better format. I'll next point out that I'll not listen to you anyways. I use a 4 point scale, with 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest. The following review is extremely opinionated and biased.
I'll start this off by giving a format.

All of these should be self explanatory.
Synopsis:The story starts out in a town, a small town, described as frozen in time. It, as we will hear quite often is the town where memories come to die. This town is isolated for one purpose only: to house both the Mnemonicides who treat patients afflicted with the Dolor and those afflicted with the disease. Mnemonicides, if you can remember your Greek roots, is a term for "memory". Combined with the Latin "occido", a term for kill found in suicide and other such words, this term realistically means "Memory Killers". We are introduced to the first of two main characters in the story, Blackiris. He, in fact is as strange as his name is. On his meaningful and ceremonious walk to his new living space, he provides a beautiful narrative account of the setting, the wonderful town where "memories come to die". Upon reaching the house, he meets with, for seemingly the first time, "La". La is a beautiful young girl, whose kindness and innocence are illustrated from the very beginning of the story. These two, along with others, find their pasts and confront their fears in a town where people come to escape these very things.
ArtworkThe art work was mediocre, nothing special, certainly better than I could draw. Scenes were illustrated as they appeared in the narrative accounts, a definite plus. Overall, it gets a 2 for lackluster drawings, but nothing terrible.
CharactersThe characters in this visual novel are endearing and find a special place in my heart. The development is superb. Well done. 4.
Plot:The story follows a decent enough plot. Nothing amazing, but very well played. 3.
Setting:Absolutely fascinating. Best setting I've ever seen in a visual novel. It gets a ten for its brilliant use of setting in relation with plot and characters. 4.
Overall:As you can tell, I'm already liking this visual novel quite a bit. It's definitely worth the play. I can't find anything to bitch about so I'll skip and give the final judgment.
