    The story is generally enjoyable and emotionally layered, featuring a grounded, straightforward time-travel narrative about second chances with likable characters and good acting.

    • “Miku probably has the least impact and interactions throughout the story which I wish they would have delved more into.”
    • “Also, every time I return to the story map it resets my position to the beginning; please just have it track my current progress so I don't have to keep scrolling to where I'm at.”
