The story is a charming and wholesome exploration of friendship and romance, primarily set in Belle's house, featuring a cross-dressing boy and a tomboy. While the narrative is cute and comforting, some reviewers noted issues with pacing and translation quality, which occasionally detracted from the experience. Overall, it offers a feel-good, albeit simple, storyline that resonates with those seeking lighthearted themes.
“I recommend this game to people who live sad and lonely lives (just like me) so they can experience a cute and wholesome story that they are unlikely to encounter in real life.”
“This story is beautiful, I absolutely loved it.”
“A cute story that'll pull on a few heart strings.”
“The translation is okay, you can certainly follow the story, to the extent that there is one, but past and present tense is often mixed up and during conversations, the word 'you' is often replaced by the person's name; which makes for some awkward sentences.”
“I think it would've been a better story if all the cross-dressing and knowing Bambi's background actually helped him become a better person with a more open perspective.”
“Also, I think anyone buying this should know that this game has a linear story.”
