  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as an interesting and sad narrative that engages players with its emotional depth, though it lacks significant interactivity and choices, making it feel more like an animated story than a traditional game. While the writing is detailed and may slow down the pacing, it effectively explores mature themes and offers a touching experience, particularly for those who appreciate visual novels that delve into reality beyond just romantic elements. Overall, the storyline is compelling but may not appeal to those seeking a more interactive gaming experience.

    • “Overall, the story's enjoyable and not too short, but the complete lack of choices makes this visual novel a little strange.”
    • “I'm not going to spoil anything about the story, which starts deep from the beginning. It's the only thing that keeps this game up; if you're into visual novels that treat reality themes and not only love, this is a nice choice—well done and touching at some points, but don't expect too much and overall don't expect to be able to choose the direction you're taking.”
    • “Overall, I think this visual novel was made for a more mature audience. Even if this is the teen version, it carries a 'heavy meaning' that may not be suitable for people who aren't used to this kind of story, and that’s why I enjoyed it.”
    • “It is supposed to slow down the story before a certain crucial point (not many choices here though!), but this slow and excessively detailed writing might not work for some people.”
    • “Not sure if I missed something, but this seemed less of a game and more of an animated story.”
    • “There's three routes in this game, I believe; however, there's a lack of interactivity until the end of the storylines.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally well-received, with some users praising them as "really good," and the inclusion of a thorough gallery for artwork adds value. However, there is a noted inconsistency in character sprite styles, particularly with one character, Yunwoo, whose sprite stands out positively compared to the others. Overall, while the visuals are appreciated, the soundtrack has received criticism for being dull and repetitive.

    • “And to be honest, I liked the art style used on his sprite a lot better than the other ones.”
    • “Graphics are quite nice (sometimes really good to me).”
    • “There’s just a little complaint though: why do all the character sprites follow a certain art style while Yunwoo’s sprite is totally different?”
    • “Fortunately, there's a gallery in which you can see all the artwork and such, and it's not automatic since I've seen dozens of visual novels that are far less thorough.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it boring and over-recycled, despite the presence of a well-organized soundtrack folder. While a few users appreciated the relaxing quality of the music, overall sentiment leans towards disappointment, suggesting it may not appeal to everyone’s taste.

    • “The soundtrack is quite boring and over-recycled.”
    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
  • emotional
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its well-written narrative that explores deep and relatable themes, evoking feelings of sadness and touch. While it effectively engages players with its poignant storytelling, it also limits player choice, focusing more on the experience than on interactive decision-making. Overall, it is recommended for those who appreciate visual novels that delve into reality beyond just romantic themes.

    • “It's well-written, and some episodes are painful and touching.”
    • “It's a unique game that made me feel sad because it's so relatable... but I still enjoyed it.”
    • “If you're into visual novels that treat reality themes and not only love, this is a nice choice, well done and touching at some points.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find certain episodes of the game tedious, particularly when they involve lengthy descriptions of mundane actions, such as the heroine lighting and smoking a cigarette, which can disrupt the pacing and engagement.

    • “Some episodes can be tedious, and you may spend a minute or two reading about how the heroine lights and smokes a cigarette.”
