The game features a heartwarming and emotional story that unfolds over a 4-6 hour playtime, with a strong emphasis on narrative rather than gameplay. Players are encouraged to experience the epilogue and side stories for a complete understanding of the plot, which is enhanced by fitting music and minimalist animation. While it resembles a visual novel, the engaging mystery and interesting characters keep players invested, particularly as the story intensifies around chapter 4.
“A heartwarming and emotional story indeed.”
“Make sure to also play the epilogue and side story after you complete the main story for the true ending!”
“Saying that though, 7 years from now is an excellent mystery story with a lot of surprises, interesting characters, and cute visuals.”
“You could totally cheat and just watch a playthrough on YouTube (again, there are no alternative paths, so the story would follow the exact line no matter who plays), but you can buy the game to support the devs.”
“More of a visual novel than a game, as you wander around town from A to B or talk to a character to begin the next part of the story.”
“Anyways, the story catches you around chapter 4, and there you can hear your room filled with heartbeats.”
