How much is it differs from the visual novel?

I finished the manga awhile ago and currently reading the VN as of now just finished episode 2 and comparing it a bit with the manga. What I notice is that the manga adaptation is clearer, you get better context, every setting is drawn and not to mention the added backstory which ties everything in a neat way.

The manga has its ups and downs compared to the VN (the voice acting and music are great and the extra dialogue adds to the characters) but I wouldn't downgrade it as inferior.

The manga spoonfeeds you way too much and goes against the mystery where you are supposed to figure things out by yourself which is the main aspect of the vn. It butchers a lot of metafictional narrative layers from the vn almost entirely and creates some dumb plot holes early on because there is no clear separation of those like there is in the vn (bodies that shouldn't be seen, etc). It also misses out on few key elements of question arc, some examples would be; one important foreshadowing in ep 1 in the George and Shannon scene, certain conversation in first few chapters of ep 2, characterization of Maria and Ange ep 4.
