While it’s an imperfect comparison to make between visual novels and novels (by their nature, VNs do need to be longer), there’s just no reason that Archetype Acadia needed to be that long. It’s good, and at times even great, but slimming it down and focusing on delivering greater intensity through the art and story beats could have elevated this game to the highs of the genre.
There's a good game within Archetype Arcadia, but with its inflated playtime, inconsistent art and a premise that's not that original, what's left shouldn't please most gamers.
