Katawa Shoujo and the WinterWolves guys are the only ones that come to mind insofar as Western VNs are concerned. There was all this buildup but not a huge amount of emotional payoff at the end. It felt like the whole "foul play" plotline fizzled out right at the end. I didn't understand why the main character did that. Destroying the core also seemed arbitrary. It felt a little too open ended, a little too abrupt, with not quite enough being resolved to really satisfy me. The ending was the main blemish for me on an otherwise great game.

The characters here were all likeable and their concerns and feelings felt genuine to me, which is something that I don't say about many VNs in general and even fewer western VNs. It's sad because otherwise I was very impressed with this game and will definitely give strong consideration to future offerings from these devs. Obviously there's a huge sequel hook here, but I'd have liked a little more closure. I think the game would have benefitted greatly from an epilogue of some sort, one that gives at least a little explanation about what happened to the various characters afterwords. I grew to like these characters over the course of the game, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to see what happened to them in the ending though.
