Feature scans:
- MTX: score 20; verdict: Capped at 20: Paid DLC Concerns, No In-Game MTX; summary: The audit finds no direct evidence of in-game microtransactions, real-money gacha, loot boxes, battle passes, post-purchase currency, or paid power. The main monetization concerns are paid DLC and day-one DLC allegations, including claims that endings and base-game content were cut and sold separately, plus a paid hint DLC and episode/DLC price breakdowns. Under the strict criteria, DLC/expansion and base-price complaints cap the score at 20.

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $5.00 - $15.00
  - Reasoning: The reviews show mixed but generally positive sentiment toward the game's content, with several players calling it worth it or high value for money. However, multiple reviewers explicitly recommend waiting for a sale or buying only at a discount, and some say it does not justify its full price. This suggests the community fair base-game price sits below premium indie visual-novel pricing, likely around $5 to $15, with $5-$10 being the sale-friendly sweet spot and $15 as an upper bound for enthusiastic fans.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 5.0h
  - Story completion: 5.0h
  - Session length: 7.0h
  - Endgame: 10.0h
  - Reasoning: The 4-5 hour experience quote and the 6-hour completion quote support a main completion/story time around 5 hours, so both gameCompletion and storyCompletion are set to 5. The German quote reports a single sitting of seven hours, supporting sessionLength = 7. The Spanish quote describes completionist/endgame cleanup taking 8-12 hours, so endgame is set to 10. Confidence is moderate because reports vary somewhat.
