This game has been gaining a fair amount of attention, perhaps because of Doki Doki Literature Club(which I still need to review), so I thought I'd give it a try. I kind of wish I hadn't.
Firstly, the writing is bad, bad, bad. I'm not sure if the writer is a non-native speaker, but the English often reads very awkwardly, with lots of strange turns of phrase, misused words, and grammatical errors. If you are writing fiction, you need to have a good enough command of the language you're writing in to be able to convey what you want to say accurately – this wasn't achieved here, and may have contributed to the other major issue I had, which was with the nonsensicality of the story as a whole.
The little tank hunter mac os. In short, the story is boring and pointless. I think the author was going for some kind of edgy, nihilistic vibe, but it just came off as clumsy and childish. The protagonist is instantly hate-able. I have no problem with this if that's who the character is supposed to be – take Makoto in School Days, for example – but the characterization and message here was so confused. At times it felt like the author intended for us to sympathize with the protagonist, all while he continued to act like a vile, abusive garbage person. Stories that force you to empathize with a monster are interesting to me, but this wasn't clever enough to fall into that category, and so we're left with two characters we don't care about, engaging in an un-enthralling sequence of distasteful interactions.
The game is only about an hour and a half long, and to discuss the story and my problems with it any further I'll have to spoil things for you, so…

So the protagonist is obsessed with a girl he thinks is out to ruin him, but we only have his side of the story, and as things progress even he starts to realize that he may have been wrong about her. Then we come to the 'twist'. The twist is that, BUT WAIT, she WAS actually messing with him all along! But she was messing with him in order to get him to fall in love with her! For some reason! And then she killed herself! So she won the rivalry or something??? Honestly, I could see some good ideas here about obsession and the line between love and hate, but that's all they were – ideas, rather than a coherent theme or narrative. The rest is a splurge of excessive misogyny, pseudo-deep ramblings, and look-I-said-a-swear-word.
As for the protagonist, his 'character arc', if you can call it that, is that he treated a girl horribly and abusively since elementary school, and then ended up in love with her, realizing that perhaps he had been wrong about everything – but then it was all a lie! And so actually he was right to have hated her? Bownty hunter mac os. I think?
I honestly don't know what it was going for, and that's my main gripe. I like dark stories, and I don't even have anything against stories that put us inside the minds of horrible people, or that make us empathize with them – so long as it' How to play dazzle. s done with skill. Her Lie I Tried To Believe makes me wonder whether it's a) a clumsy attempt at writing for shock value, or b) the author genuinely thought they were writing something relatable.

To briefly comment on the other aspects of this VN, I actually quite enjoyed the music. The art isn't great, Chemtrails! mac os. but it serves its purpose as this is more of a kinetic novel in the vein of Higurashi. Unfortunately, that means that the story and writing have to be top-notch to carry it, which – and I think I've already hammered this home – they really aren't.

If I've labored the point in this review that I actually like dark stories, it's because I don't want people to jump to the conclusion that I just can't handle a story about abuse. I can. What I can't handle is boring, badly written VNs. Steer clear of this one.
