  • Beautiful, fairytale-inspired art with well-designed characters and many varied CGs.
  • Engaging story with multiple branching endings, ranging from sweet and heartwarming to dark and haunting, providing strong emotional impact.
  • Well-written narrative and character development, especially the dynamic between Rain and Zero, including nuanced personalities and emotional depth.
  • Music can be repetitive and the lack of voice acting reduces immersion.
  • Some players find the protagonist Rain's attitude abrasive and the heavy focus on his physical weakness repetitive.
  • Adult content is censored with mosaics in the patch, which many find distracting and diminishing the impact of those scenes.

  • story

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    48% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story is praised for its beautiful art, fairytale-like atmosphere, and well-developed character motivations, with multiple endings offering varied and immersive experiences. While some find the pacing slow and certain plot twists predictable or rushed, the chemistry between characters and the blend of light and darker themes create an engaging narrative overall. It may not be groundbreaking, but fans of story-driven visual novels, especially those appreciating nuanced BL dynamics, will find it enjoyable and recommendable.

    • “While not my favorite one of these, the story is very good if you dive into all the endings.”
    • “Some plot twists were startling, art is gorgeous, the story is well-written, I can't possibly demand more from the visual novels.”
    • “+Captivating, immersive story with many (for this length) 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.”
    • “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 doesn't destroy the suspension of disbelief.”

  • music

    The music is generally well-received for its pleasant, fitting, and varied soundtrack, with some standout tracks during tense scenes. However, some users found it repetitive and noted the absence of voice acting. Overall, the music complements the game effectively despite not being highly memorable.

    • “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.”
    • “That said, 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 no voice acting.”

  • emotional

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect is deeply engaging, exploring complex dynamics such as a multi-faceted forbidden romance with well-built tension. Characters exhibit contrasting personalities that enrich the emotional depth, and all endings—whether heartwarming or harrowing—deliver a powerful and diverse emotional experience despite the novel's short length.

    • “It's a forbidden romance that tackles the "forbidden" part from several angles, which gives the sexy moments that nice emotional build-up.”
    • “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.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features beautiful artwork and a generally tasteful visual style that complements its story focus, though some users feel the GUI slightly clashes with the art style. Additionally, there are fewer explicit graphic scenes than some expected, appealing more to those who prefer a story-driven experience.

    • “This visual novel has beautiful artwork and the story is great so far!”
    • “The GUI felt a bit clashing with the art style, but not enough to be too jarring.”

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is praised for its beautiful art and charming fairytale-like quality, with character designs that, despite being feminine and "perky," effectively enhance the story's whimsical mood.

    • “The art is beautiful - I thought I might be put off by the overly feminine and 'perky' character models, but nope, their sugary attributes complement the fairytale-esque atmosphere of the story perfectly.”
