I've given about 5 or so games a 10/10 in my life, and three of them weren't Visual Novels.

The action in the story picks up from the get go, and snowballs down a rocky, tree-covered hill. We start with Takumi the fagbitch, we run through with Fagbitch, and we watch him go from Fagbitch to Hero. Yes, it's a little cliche, and Yes, his Bitchiness is hard to deal with, but by the end of the story his changes give you a true sense of having been there to watch him grow up.

The Heroine cast doesn't disappoint either. Every niche is filled without overpopulating the moe-ecosystem. Nanmi the little sister (She IS moe, you little fagbitch.), Rimi Onee-chan, Kozu-pii...err, fuck, Kozue the squeeky Loli, Sena the domineering Tsundere, Yua the klutz, and Ayase the endearing head case all come together to carry the little bitch through his nightmarish delusions, and yet never impede the storytelling itself. His imagine Ero-scenes were a welcome bought of hilarity amongst his mid-story paranoia.

And, against all hope, Takumi actually manages to mature into a Hero, going so far as to slash his beloved Seira-tans to little bloody bits.

Got what was coming to her, as far as I'm concerned.

As for the suspense/horror-ness of the plot, that was wonderfully done. As each tidbit was revealed, takumi's, and our own, expectations of who to blame rapidly shifted around a list of suspects. I'm not entirely sure who thought of going for the oft-unused element of kicking the horror aspect to the curb and giving Takumi a weapon he could use, but it worked out great. That Final Battle, short as it was, was epic. I wish the Di-Swords had seen a bit more use, but the disuse actually lended them an aura of "Last Resort", rather then "Super Weapon".

And, even the ending was satisfying. Which is rare in a VN.

Now, on to B route.

What was the point of all the new-gen murders?

I know that the Staking was to get rid of that professor or whatever, but the rest? What was the point of that nurse (forgot her name) having to kill that man and shove her baby into his stomache? Or removing the doctors brain in the Brainless-murder?

And why did those five kids jump down from that building? Was it like a testrun for the delusion-machine or something?
Takumi also said he heard Shogun's weelchair during the video of it, so was it shogun(im kinda doubting that though) or was he just delusional, like always lol?

I assume that the New Gen murders were all experiments. The Leap for direct mind control through delusion, the Pregnant Man a test of how far you could push someone with an order (A mother killing her child by cutting it out of her womb seems a pretty fucked up thing to do, but she still did it. I'm just not sure whether she was Delusional or not when she got the idea to do it.) The Staking was removal of evidence, and Brainless was either Hazuki being a head case, or further removal of evidence (As Takumi remembers that a suit from Nozomi was there whenever he was being therapied during his childhood.)

And, Takumi is rather fucked up in the head when he wants to be. With the delusions he has, I think an auditory hallucination of a creaking wheelchair for the jump video is no big leap from full-on conversations with Seira.

But that does raise a question for me: Exactly at what point did Shogun(real) enter the picture? Was it during the conversation at @Cafe? If it was, then where the hell was he when Shogun(fake) had Takumi trying to draw his Di-Sword in front of a live audience?
