Kind of weird that they localized "mei" as "baa" (sheep sounds) but then kept stuff like "Ojii-san" instead of its translation. Wish they'd kept the "mei" because then a recurring play on words would have made much more sense.
It has its issues, but the positives are some of the best things I have seen in a video game. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone. There is a lot to appreciate about Raging Loop.
The soundtrack was really good. I liked the general situation, but I think the game would have been way better if each "Feast" vote in all three of the main routes was up to the player, even if it would lead to filtering or forced stalemates. The situation was perfect for a VN and I think it really missed its potential by not giving you the many branching choices they could milk from it. I also like the idea of votes making people angry or suspicious of you and I think they could have done more with that dynamic and player choice.
I think if you know anything about hair and eye colors with evil associations in Nihon, you basically spoil this game for yourself the minute the characters are introduced. Granted these things don't always play out even in Japanese media, but in this instance, it was pretty obvious.
I quite liked the concept and the folklore themes worked really well too. The tensions and mysteries were consistently gripping. With how good the plot is, the writing does not do it justice remotely. The dialogues and characters are really cringeworthy, and I was constantly rolling my eyes at all the tropes. I enjoyed the game, but I won't be recommending this to people because I don't want people to think I thought this writing was cool lol.
