The game delivers a touching and nostalgic story about the last days of high school and the pressures of growing up.
The soundtrack is relaxing and fitting, providing a soothing atmosphere throughout the experience.
Offers multiple endings including non-romantic options, adding some replayability for a short visual novel.

The game is very short, typically completed within 30 minutes to an hour, with endings feeling rushed and abrupt.
Character art is crude and inconsistent, featuring only one static sprite per character that lacks emotional expression.
The use of real photographs as backgrounds clashes with the character art style, and the story choices have minimal impact on the narrative.

The story of this visual novel centers on the final days of high school and romantic choices, presenting a simple, relatable, and nostalgic coming-of-age narrative. However, many reviewers found it overly short, rushed, and lacking depth or emotional connection, with minimal impact from player choices and underdeveloped characters. While a few praise its heartwarming and meaningful moments, overall the story is considered generic, linear, and not immersive.
- “Last Days of Spring is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story.”
- “I liked the story a lot in this visual novel; it really reminded me a lot of my high school days and I was very entertained by this on my way home from work on the train.”
- “With a beautiful storyline, enchanting music and unique art style, I was swept away into this world and really could see myself in the shoes of each character.”
- “The endings have about 100 words of dialogue each, and it's so short that you don't have the time to feel any real attachment to any of the characters from the story.”
- “I’ve played some bad visual novels before, but wow… Last Days of Spring has some serious issues, the story and characters being the main ones; the story was dull, characters were badly developed and forgettable, and your choices through the story barely matter at all.”
- “The conversations in the story feel very forced, robotic and too casual (like how one would converse on social media), which is a big turn-off for me.”

The graphics in this game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the unique, nostalgic anime/manga-inspired art style and its emotional impact, while others find the character sprites basic, expressionless, and inconsistent in quality. Technical limitations like lack of graphic options and low-resolution visuals further dampen the experience for some players.

- “With a beautiful storyline, enchanting music and unique art style, I was swept away into this world and really could see myself in the shoes of each character.”

- “No graphic options, barebones settings and no full screen or resolution support.”
- “The art style was decent sometimes, but most sprites were bad (characters were ugly and expressionless, just like empty vessels).”

- “Immerse yourself in this touching and sweet tale and decide how you would re-live your 'last days of spring.'”
- “This visual novel is a very short glimpse of what happens in the lives of teenagers on the verge of becoming members of society, and it turns out it's pretty heartwarming.”

- “The background photos were lovely but clashed with the sketchy and rather forgettable character design.”
- “There is a character design for the protagonist, as seen in the trailer, header, and cards, but it is not used in any scene of the game. Why?”

The gameplay is minimal, primarily involving clicking through dialogue typical of a kinetic visual novel, with little to no interactive or winning elements. Overall, it offers limited engagement beyond progressing the story.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'.”
- “Gameplay-wise, I wouldn't count any winnings either, considering it is a mostly kinetic visual novel.”

grinding
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Users find the grinding aspect tedious and slow-paced, likening it to having to click repeatedly through text, which diminishes the enjoyment compared to simply reading a novel. This repetitive interaction can make progress feel laborious rather than engaging.

The humor in the game is largely driven by players creating their own funny moments, such as using unconventional voice acting, rather than the game's inherent comedic content.
