- “The attention to aesthetic consistency enhances the immersion, and even though the story leans heavily on dialogue, the art direction ensures that every scene feels visually dynamic rather than static.”
- “Also, the artstyle steps away from the heavily prevalent manga-style that so many visual novels tend to feature which is quite refreshing.”
- “The artwork is inconsistent.”
- “The artwork is usually pretty pleasing to the eye, but at some points, it seems like the art was downgraded and maybe a different artist drew some of the CGs.”
- “My only real complaints are the lack of a gallery for the artwork scenes, and I wish the bad endings felt a little more fleshed out than re-hashing dates from other girls.”
