I like messed up, and I definitely like that subtitle. Mandatory Happiness? Good shit right there. Read more

and that is the main conflict presented in the anime. Is the Sibyl System really necessary? What does it take to define a criminal? This game is really good if it made you, the player, manifest the emotions the characters in the anime feel. Man, I wanna play it too! Nice review by the way. Read more
