The official translation is finally here, for a hardcore date a live fan like me, this is definitely worth the wait! For the people that wants good value for their money, I would suggest getting Rio Reincarnation instead since it shares a similar price tag as Ren Dystopia, but its three in one. If the first three visual novels highly interests you, then this one is definitely is worth getting! Just a little fair warning though, you will be greeted with a rather "special" scene once you start the game ;)

Despite the game suggesting its better to play on the controller, the controls for PC is perfectly fine. If you played Rio Reincarnation, the controls are identical to the ones used for Ren Dystopia.

@i'm die ty forever that not's gonna fly. The games tell a storeline not covered in the books, they are not replacement for them. Without the books or anime they won't make any sense.
