Excellent art and sound design, nice variety of minigames. Average harem plot and lack of replayability.

Rather than "pokemon with gun", the game is mostly ark / rust with improved companion mechanics. The pals are significantly integrated into all gameplay mechanisms: gathering, refining, crafting, building, and combat. There's a good variety of passives from wild pals, and even more through breeding.
Base building is nice, but could be better. Base management is not really good.

Truly one of the games of all times.

Spent 6000+ hours playing this game. Could have gotten a PhD with that kind of time. Absolute waste.

This is a finely designed piece of visual novel with an appropriate amount of plot, nice and relaxing soundtracks, wonderful characters and character developments, likeable art, and mechanics suitable for a game that you are supposed to be playing with one hand. I doubt if it's worth the $18 price tag, but I did not regret buying this game atm.

This is a beautiful game.
Have cute and lovely waifus.
I genuinely love how the emotions and feelings of characters progress.
So many plot branches and endings.
I played a lot of VNs but never found anything as awesome as this.
Should I have a girlfriend, I want her to be exactly like Monika from this game.
Forget childhood friends or tsunderes, just Monika.
Cant find any flaw at all with her.
Killed a lot of time with this VN.
Explored a lot of sataisfying endings.
Does not leave any regrets.
Uplifting.
Perfect.
