“I think that if you're willing to give it a shot, you're in for a nice little story about maintaining friendship amidst life's hardships.”
“A good thing about the story is that there are many choices to make, each one leading to a different situation, and snowballing into a story relating to whatever your decisions lead to, and that's a good thing.”
“The story in itself is really enjoyable to read through.”
“Sometimes it will be the middle of the day and the story instantly progresses to the following day.”
“Moments like this are a common occurrence where I just wish there was that slight extra bit of story added to a particular day to really feel like a lot happened in that day instead of constantly moving to the next day.”
“Some that are voiced and make appearances later in the story lose their voice acting.”

The graphics are praised for their beautiful art style and character designs, effectively conveying emotions and enhancing the overall experience. While the later CGs are notably more impressive than the earlier ones, some characters, like Yuika, receive less favorable artwork. Minor presentation flaws, such as mismatched visuals and audio, are noted but do not significantly detract from the overall quality.
“The art style is amazing, the voice overs are done beautifully and fit the characters really well!”
“The art style is fairly simple yet really pleasant to look at, considering the emotions each character shows are fairly easy to read.”
“I didn't notice any typos, weird sentence structuring, mixed art styles, or anything to indicate that this wasn't developed by some seriously talented people.”
“The early CGs certainly are not as pretty as the later ones (as I assume the other CGs were drawn by a different artist), and I do think Yuika gets the short end of the stick yet again as a lot of her CGs are drawn in the less fancy art style (come on, no true kissing CG?!).”
“Some minor flaws in presentation (at a few places the script doesn't match the visuals; in one scene where rain is supposed to be heard from outside it's mixed way too loud).”

The humor in the game is derived from the protagonist's lack of a face in the character graphics, which users find amusing and somewhat incongruous given the otherwise high-quality visuals. This quirky design choice adds a layer of comedic absurdity to the experience.
“The main character has no face in any of the CGs, which looks really funny and out of place, especially since the CGs look really good most of the time.”
“The humor in the game is cleverly woven into the dialogue, making even the most serious moments feel lighthearted.”
“I found myself laughing out loud at the quirky interactions between characters; the comedic timing is spot on!”
