“Coming from studio èlan, this was a great story with a great storyline and some really good characters.”
“It makes references to its originator while also standing extremely well on its own; I actually prefer this story slightly more due to the deep involvement of side characters within the main story!”
“Without going into spoiler territory, I love how the story progresses and how it wraps up nicely, especially with that epilogue between two other characters from that alternate universe.”
“Game feels too much like bla bla bla instead of telling story or having anything happening.”
“I read the notes (I quite like reading Ebi-hime's notes) and I saw that the heart of this story was intended to be the relationship between [spoiler]Magdalena and Christel[/spoiler] but I'm not sure how well it works.”
“The story makes reference to the events of Cage of Roses throughout, and so I would recommend that if you're going to read Café of Roses, you must read Cage of Roses.”
