There’s a lot to recommend Nowhere Girl. In its looks and writing, there’s a craftsmanship that takes it beyond your average visual novel. The setup, too, is bonkers: an unlikely romance between ghost and software developer. But it’s the middle act, before things get equally bonkers at the end, that doesn’t quite coalesce. Nowhere Girl can’t convince you that a natural, believable relationship is growing between its characters, and it makes the setup a little sleazy as a result. A curio, then: one for visual novel fans who like to go off the beaten path.
