Distortium

Editorial Worth it

Distortium is a school-set isekai AVN with solid writing, polished animations, and genuine humor that lands well. The core appeal is its twist on familiar territory: the MC meets versions of the same love interests in an alternate reality where they don't know him, forcing different character dynamics and player choices. Opinion splits cleanly: some find this wrinkle fresh and engaging ("not something you see often"), while others find it narratively wasteful and frustrating—building relationships only to "start over." The MC's occasional stupidity (forcing himself into a dangerous hunt against player agency, making tone-deaf comments) annoys some, and tsundere characterization divides taste sharply. Despite strong resemblance to *Eternum* in setup, tone, and even specific scenes (the "compliment the pen" callback), most agree the execution is competent enough to recommend. A few technical hiccups (download access, text speed duplication, speaker mismatches in earlier builds) have been patched. Community consensus: a worthwhile entry if the parallel-reality conceit appeals to you, derivative but well-made.
