  • story
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, praised for its engaging narrative and character motivations, with a fairytale-like atmosphere enhanced by beautiful artwork.

Overall, it offers a captivating experience, blending lighthearted moments with deeper themes, making it a worthwhile visual novel for fans of the genre.

    • “The prose is good at explaining the motivations of the characters: the main reveal is a little on the 'yeah, right' side, but it's elaborated on and placed in the story in such a firm way, it's believable and it doesn't destroy the suspension of disbelief.”
    • “Ebi-hime does a wonderful job with narrating the story, which makes it a pleasure to read her visual novels.”
    • “Captivating, immersive story with many different endings for all tastes.”
    • “After a while, I got annoyed by how much the story seemed to harp on about how short and weak Rain is physically compared to how big and strong Zero is.”
    • “My only complaint is that the story felt a little static and slow.”
    • “Overall, I wouldn't say that this story is groundbreaking or will change your life, but it was pretty fun and I would absolutely recommend it.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its pleasantness and suitability for various scenes, particularly during tense moments. However, some users noted that the soundtrack can be repetitive and lacks voice acting, which may detract from the overall experience. While not considered extremely memorable, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “The music is also great - I especially liked the song playing during the tense scenes, as it has a very interesting build-up that starts solemnly and dreamy, and then the danger drops; it's awesome.”
    • “In regards to the music, the soundtrack is lovely to listen to.”
    • “And while I wouldn't say that the music was extremely memorable, it was very pleasant and always fit the scenes.”
    • “I found the music a bit too repetitive and was disappointed by the total lack of voices.”
    • “Plenty of CGs are shown as well as a varied soundtrack, although there is no voice acting.”
  • emotional
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players experience a range of emotions, from heartwarming good endings to harrowing bad endings, showcasing a diverse emotional journey despite the game's brevity. Overall, the emotional impact is significant, leaving a lasting impression on players.

    • “I liked the emotional dynamic between Rain and Zero—Rain is very acerbic and basically refuses to be honest about his feelings ever, while Zero comes off as a cheerful open book (though is a bit more complex than that).”
    • “The good endings are heartwarming, the bad endings are harrowing.”
    • “Anyway, all endings were emotional; I love how diverse that experience was for a rather short novel.”

    The game features beautiful artwork that complements its engaging story, although some users feel the GUI clashes slightly with the art style.

    • “This visual novel has beautiful artwork and the story is great so far!”
    • “The GUI felt a bit clashed with the art style, but not so much as to be too jarring.”
    • “The GUI felt like it clashed with the art style a bit, but not so much that it was too jarring.”
    • “The only real complaint I have is the lack of graphic scenes; I was hoping for more nudity in the game, but most of it is pretty tasteful all things considered. So if you prefer something that's more story-focused as opposed to being super raunchy, then this might be down your alley.”
