“The story has a fascinating premise inviting readers to explore the world and the characters.”
“You will feel a lot of emotional feelings overflowing when playing it; many things that happen have many mysteries, but as the story progresses, they will slowly be revealed.”
“One thing I appreciated is how well put together the story is, especially the use of foreshadowing.”
“The story pacing (along with voice acting which may just be a 2010s thing) feels kind of slow; you don’t need to read all of the dialogue to understand the situation or feel them.”
“She was compelling as a character enough for the emotional moments within her route to hit properly, but I was disappointed at how she, of all characters, feels like a plot device for most of the game.”
“The common route was rather long but didn’t feel dragged out at all; however, the characters’ routes were a bit inconsistent. Kana and Mio were charming and satisfying to read, while Kyou and Tsukasa were treated as sub-heroines instead, which saddens me since I love Kyou the most out of every heroine.”

Character development in the game is highlighted as a mixed experience; while the common route is engaging, individual character routes vary in depth, with some characters like Kana and Mio being well-developed and enjoyable, while others like Kyou and Tsukasa feel underutilized. Shinku's route stands out for its strong character growth and resolution of key story mysteries, enhancing the overall narrative.
“The common route was rather long but didn’t feel dragged out at all; however, the characters’ routes were a bit inconsistent. Kana and Mio were charming and satisfying to read, while Kyou and Tsukasa were treated as sub-heroines instead. It saddens me since I love Kyou the most out of every heroine. Shinku’s route was phenomenal, solving most mysteries within the story while showcasing character development for both the protagonist and the true heroine.”

The humor in this route is praised for its clever writing and ability to evoke genuine laughter, complemented by a surprisingly deep narrative. While some fan service moments feel awkwardly forced, they are infrequent enough not to significantly disrupt the overall experience.
“This route’s writing is genius in various ways; the comedy made me laugh a lot, her story is surprisingly deep, there are hints everywhere, and best of all, Shinku had a lot of screen time.”
“The humor does trend towards the fan service awkward scenes at times as well, and it's always awkwardly forced whenever they appear, but these are sparse enough that it didn't detract from my immersion too much.”
