    • “This visual novel brings together adorable characters, lighthearted storytelling, and charming artwork in a captivating package.”

  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

If you like to just read, this might be good for you... well, if you like to turn your brain off for a couple of hours. I think it has 5 or 6 hours of dialogues; not sure about replayability, get it if it's cheap.”
