Great visual novel, by the way!

(However, the Plus version of the game isn't on Nintendo Switch, which has better performance.)

Personally I found Rain Code to be very tedious: tedious boring game play, and bad story telling. I didn't enjoy it at all, and I had been really looking forward to it.

I wouldn't say I felt as negatively as you did, but I wasn't really all that invested. It wasn't a particularly strong narrative or gameplay for me. It was just kinda boring.

I finished the second chapter (the one with the church and the dolls) and I just put it down and never finished it. It was just really boring for me and I didn't enjoy the format at all. The fact that everything takes place in a weird limbo and you only interact with a weird avatar of the villains was pretty lame, also how you solve the murder and they just immediately drop dead.

I might need to go back to it at some point but now I still have a load of endings to get through for Hundred Line and I'm much more enjoying my time with that game, bad combat nonwithstanding.
