emotional11 positive mentions
gameplay2 negative mentions
  • The game offers a heartfelt, emotional story focused on healing, grief, and personal growth, with nuanced characters and exploration of difficult topics handled with sensitivity.
  • Stat-raising gameplay adds interactivity and strategic elements, making progression and choices feel impactful, with a good blend of slice-of-life, romance, and emotional drama.
  • Strong overall presentation including compelling character designs, a variety of backgrounds, partial but effective voice acting, pleasant music, and expressive animated sprites that enhance immersion.
  • The depiction and handling of a sexual assault story arc is widely criticized as careless, problematic, and unrealistic, making the content uncomfortable and difficult for some players.
  • The writing quality is inconsistent, especially in later chapters where character developments become exaggerated and plot threads are poorly resolved or dropped, reducing the overall narrative impact.
  • Some voice acting, notably one main character's, is considered grating or cheesy by certain players, and the game lacks clarity in its stat progression system, sometimes causing frustration with timing and requirements.

  • story

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 80% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story of "Dear Mom: My Letter to You" centers on Ayame's emotional recovery from her mother's death, featuring a nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of her family and friends with themes of forgiveness and healing. While the narrative handles sensitive topics with care and the characters are well-developed, the plot can feel repetitive and occasionally forced, with some dialogue coming across as unnatural. Romance plays a minor but meaningful role alongside the main theme of personal growth.

    • “You experience one year of her life in high school, and the story is broken into four main chapters with story beats scattered across each chapter.”
    • “It's sweet seeing Ayame's dad and brother work so hard to look after her, and it's equally sweet to see Ayame slowly realise, throughout the course of the story, that they're hurting too after the death of her mother, and they also need help.”
    • “The story is moving, and the themes were handled with sensitivity and care.”
    • “The dialogue often felt really unnatural, cheesy, and annoying to read through.”
    • “In order to keep the plot revolving around Ayame, characters have to behave in more and more insane ways.”
    • “The plot must always return to the status quo: 'Ayame is sad and everyone understands and gives her a hug' because frankly the plot can't work unless this is the status quo.”

  • emotional

    The emotional aspect of the game is deeply heartfelt, evoking a wide range of feelings from joy to tears through its sincere storytelling and character interactions. Many players found the narrative touching and impactful, with moments of emotional depth that resonate long after playing. Overall, it offers a sweet, genuine experience that effectively balances lighthearted and poignant scenes.

    • “It's a very sweet and heartfelt visual novel with love and care oozing from every single facet of it, and it's very easy to recommend it!”
    • “Dear mom may be a game that's easy to overlook and dismiss based on its cover and premise, but underneath the rough edges lies a hidden gem and a heartfelt experience that will make you laugh, make you cry and surprise you in many ways.”
    • “Probably not, but I cried a lot in the final chapter and epilogue and wanted to become a better person in my real life from reading this visual novel.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is praised for being broad, pleasant, and fitting well with the overall experience. While some reviewers are more focused on other elements like voice acting and gameplay, the soundtrack is generally considered good and complements the visual novel effectively.

    • “I haven't even touched on how all the characters are voice acted (it's only partial VA, but the most important scenes are fully voiced), or how broad the OST is, with many pleasant songs on there.”
    • “Unless, that is the music is absolutely incredible.”
    • “The art is cute, the music is very fitting, the gameplay is fun, and the writing made me laugh and cry every now and then.”

  • gameplay

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, centered around a stat-building mechanic that allows players to choose which points to level up. Combined with fitting music and charming art, it offers a fun and emotionally resonant experience.

    • “The art is cute, the music is very fitting, the gameplay is fun (who doesn't love choosing which points to level up?), and the writing made me laugh and cry every now and then.”
    • “I also like the stats building mechanic.”
    • “Now again this game has stat raising gameplay.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics feature multiple distinct art styles for sprites, CGs, and backgrounds, yet maintain a cohesive and appealing look through a cute, colorful UI and consistent character designs. The unique and pleasant visual style is complemented by professional voice acting, enhancing the overall presentation.

    • “There are several different art styles going on here (the sprites are clearly done by a different artist than the CGs, and I think the backgrounds are by 3 or 4 different artists), but it still looks cohesive thanks to the cute, colorful UI (the UI in this game is really nice, by the way), and the character designs are consistent throughout.”
    • “The overall writing quality in my opinion is comparable to some famous titles; the graphic style is unique but pleasant; the voice acting is professional and on-point (and somehow reminds me of the English dub of Persona 5 a lot, which is great).”

  • optimization

    The feedback on optimization is mixed, with some appreciation for character interactions but overall a sense of imbalance or overemphasis that affects the experience.
