The game's story features a mix of engaging and heavy narratives, with players expressing a strong connection to characters like Kei and Yuzuru, whose arcs evoke deep emotional responses. While some storylines, particularly Kazuomi's second season, are criticized for being dull, the overall experience is described as entertaining and relatable, with a focus on realistic love rather than fairy tale tropes. Despite some inconsistencies and a lack of impactful choices, the storytelling is complemented by beautiful art and a shared universe with another game, enhancing its appeal.
“I really ended up liking Kei's story, which I wasn't even going to play and thought was going to be my least favorite.”
“Not the fairy tale kind of love that can bog down a story, but real, let's see what these two people are made of, when they're apart and when they're together, love.”
“I found the story actually really grabs you; particularly Kei's route, I found myself crying more times than I ever thought I would.”
“But with Kazuomi's story, by the time I got to season 2, I was fighting through it.”
“If you're not enjoying a part of a story or don't want to read his POV, too bad.”
“You do have choices and unfortunately it doesn't matter what you pick; the story goes in the direction it has to. However, this game is set up so that there are more dialogue opportunities rather than the 'run/don't run' kind of choices.”
