The very definition of an uncut gem. It's hard explain why this is better than it appears without major spoilers, but suffice to say this is a rare isekai story that actually plays with the whole reincarnation thing and game logic as more than just a convenient plot contrivance.

It ostensibly functions as a mystery story while the A and B plots slowly come together.

The reason I describe it as "uncut" is the animation. This was rushed and/or low budget and it shows. The first half or so is well done for the most part, excluding what I would consider excessive use of mediocre CGI.

The final few episodes are where it gets a bit difficult to watch. They appear to have run out of money by episode 18 or so. The last few episodes have the plots finally coming into alignment and should be climactic and exciting, but it feels a bit flat with PS2 era CGI backgrounds covered in static and choppy models. The limited hand drawn animation during these sections notably abuse still frames with voice overs.

They clearly did what they could, but the final product is really carried by the writing which, while good for an anime, is far from a masterpiece. The most unfortunate part of the whole thing is that this is unlikely to get an opportunity to continue with a higher budget. Maybe I'm wrong, but we're going on 5 years now with no sign of a second season being produced.

Overall, it's worth your time, but the ending will probably leave you wanting more that will never come.
