Okay. Like everyone else, I was excitedly expecting a Danganropa clone. But that is not this game. Now pushing aside expectations, this game is a visual novel that breaks into a 2D platforming segments.Quick synopsis: The Go-getters Club is on a class field trip to Kamakuru when a meteor suddenly crashes into Tokyo, letting out a seismic shockwave. The shockwave hits their bus and then everything goes dark. When the group wakes up, they find themselves in an Underwater Theme Park. How did they get there? As they struggle to return to the surface, the world that they once knew is no longer there. It is now filled with monsters and no people. (I won’t go more in depth. Any more would ruin the plot twists.)The game is broken up into 3 formats: Story, Camp and Act. Story is what it means. Camp is when the group is on break and you can interact with each character. And I mean interact loosely. You learn just a bit about their background that adds a bit to the plot. And Act is the platforming portion. The platforming was annoying as heck. I cursed profusely after dying 5 times in the same spot. The controls are not intuitive and clunky. I usually end up hitting the wrong button in my haste. Or not understanding the task and getting killed right off the bat. Or overestimating a distance. For example, climbing onto a platform. You pushed B to jump. Then you just hang there. The natural inclination would be to hit B again to climb up. Nope. You have to move the joystick up to go up. And I mean UP. You can’t angle it too much or it won’t register. I don’t understand why they can’t make climbing into one fluid motion. Since there is no saving, the game luckily saves right before the platforming segments. So, when you die, you don’t have far to catch up. The first time you play, you will automatically end up in a “dead” end. So, there were a couple divergent story lines that you would be forced to replay in order to unlock the true ending. There are collectibles stickers to collect. You do unlock a gallery (Art, Music and Movies) upon getting your first ending.I completed the game in 15 hours. By the midway point, the story got GOOD. Every character had their own little development arc and you became invested in them. The ending cleaned up well. The character designs are charming and colorful. Everyone (excluding the main protagonist) is fully voiced. There was no grammar/spelling mistakes. I did find the theme song catchy after hearing 3 times. The only thing I hated was the platforming. And my game did crash once when I ended up the map screen. Other than that, no other issues. Is there replayability? Not really. Once you know the story, it loses its shock value. I cannot comment really on the extras. It comes with a mini artbook and a digital soundtrack. The soundtrack is worth it. The artbook is meh. I think the in-game art gallery is better.Is it worth getting? If you like visual novels and sci-fi, this might be to your liking. However, the platforming can be a drag. Just think of it as a necessary evil. If you are looking for a platformer, this is not it. This is not for everyone. I don’t regret playing but I could’ve waited on purchasing.
