  • Offers a simple and pleasant visual novel experience with soothing pixel art and soundtrack.
  • Features a sensitive and respectful portrayal of a girl with mental health challenges.
  • Provides a quick, low-cost narrative that might appeal to fans of 'Milk Inside a Bag of Milk'.
  • Feels like a cheap and lazy copy of 'Milk Inside a Bag of Milk inside a Bag', lacking depth and originality.
  • Poor writing quality and English translation issues, including some Russian text appearing unexpectedly.
  • Extremely short gameplay with minimal choices or plot development, making it feel more like an e-book or demo than a game.

    The story has mixed reception: some feel the developers replicated surface elements without fully understanding their purpose, while others appreciate its focus on mental health and the unique winter-themed plot. Overall, it is considered worth playing for its meaningful character portrayal despite some narrative shortcomings.

    • “It is nice to see a story featuring a character with mental health issues, so overall I would say it's worth playing just for that.”
    • “I love this story<3”
    • “But here we see story about winter.”
    • “It's like the dev tried to copy the surface level aspects of the story but didn't understand why each story element was actually there.”

    The gameplay is minimal, consisting primarily of clicking through dialogue, which many users find poorly written and unengaging, leading to a lackluster interactive experience.

    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”

  • grinding

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

    Users find the grinding aspect tedious and slow, likening it to reading a novel where progression requires repetitive clicking for each sentence, which hampers the overall experience.
