  • story
    699 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a short, linear kinetic visual novel focused on a sci-fi yuri romance between an 18-year-old girl and an alien, featuring minimal character development and a rushed, somewhat nonsensical plot. While some appreciate its charm, humor, and potential, many find it shallow, clichéd, and primarily an excuse for an erotic scene, leaving players wanting a more fleshed-out and cohesive narrative. Overall, it offers a brief but entertaining experience best suited for fans of quick, lighthearted yuri stories.

    • “Great writing, witty dialogue, masterfully crafted story, and excellent world building.”
    • “The story is most certainly a positive surprise for those who decided to burn an hour of their time, and immediately realize it was going to be a fantastic hour, because not only is the plot solid, well written and worthy of any premium visual novel, as the whole direction is well portrayed, leaving the player with a terrific amusement feeling.”
    • “Awesome game worth a while, not for the sexual stuff but the story is fantastic.”
    • “The story was extremely short, nonsensical, and rushed to make the ending happen.”
    • “It's really short, the plot is barely there, and the character's actions make very little sense.”
    • “The smut isn't very good, the artwork depicts the main character looking like a 12 year old (and the story starts by clarifying no, she's 18, but the art makes the sex scene all the more uncomfortable), unlike most visual novels there's no actual choices, and while the story is rushed on its own, the epilogue is even worse as it feels like another chapter of the story, not an epilogue, and then cuts off suddenly with no warning.”
  • music
    89 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as decent, simple, and fitting the anime-style atmosphere, with some praising it as soothing and well-suited to the narrative. However, many find it bland, repetitive, forgettable, or generic, lacking variety and depth, with no voice acting and minimal sound effects. Overall, the soundtrack is adequate for a short, free visual novel but not particularly memorable or exceptional.

    • “I found it well worth both time and money :) art is lovely and so is the music.”
    • “I admit, the music is easily the best part of this game.”
    • “Beautiful backgrounds, beautiful music, good story.”
    • “The music's trash, the backgrounds are garbage (other than the sky), and the plot is just...stupid.”
    • “Music is so bland and generic I didn't even notice it, there were no sound effects.”
    • “Most of the backgrounds look like crap, the music is irritating to say the least, the big pink text box covers up the characters and the writing is beyond awful.”
  • graphics
    88 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally described as cute, pleasant, and well-done with a nice art style, but also simplistic and minimal, lacking in animated or explicit visual content. While the artwork is appreciated for quality and design, especially character art, many note that explicit scenes rely more on descriptive text than detailed visuals. Overall, the graphics are decent but not particularly impressive or substantial within the gameplay experience.

    • “Graphics - 7/10: The animation style is very pleasant to look at.”
    • “Pros - nice music, story is not too hard to follow which I liked, brilliant font and lettering (something I praise hard with games like these), interesting plot that could be developed further, great visuals/art, and lovely breasts :)”
    • “The visuals are very nice; the story could have been longer and perhaps a sequel was planned since there were a few untied ends (her father).”
    • “The graphics make it worse, since those are kind of important during 18+ scenes.”
    • “The main action however isn't properly described in graphics... it's only written.”
    • “Artstyle is abysmal and whole story took me 30 minutes to read.”
  • humor
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in this short visual novel is generally quirky and occasionally clever, offering several genuinely funny moments and amusing dialogue, especially in its sci-fi and adult-themed context. However, its comedic appeal is mixed, with some players finding it hilariously bad or confusing, while others appreciate its charm despite moments of cliché or awkwardness. Overall, the humor lands often enough to make it a light, entertaining experience worth a brief playthrough.

    • “I chuckled at about 4-5 different times since the scripting is quite funny at times.”
    • “There was a good chemistry between the two female leads, and the culture shock of communicating with an alien leads to some pretty humorous dialogue.”
    • “The humor lands more often than I expected, and for something free, I didn’t feel like I’d wasted my time.”
    • “This is supposed to be funny but I'm running it into the ground!”
    • “I actually read all the dialogue which was unfunny and felt drawn out.”
  • gameplay
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this visual novel is minimal to nonexistent, primarily consisting of linear story progression with very limited choices that do not affect the outcome, providing little traditional interactivity or replay value. While some users appreciate the seamless mechanics that let the narrative and characters shine, most note that it feels more like reading a storybook than engaging in actual gameplay. Despite this, the intriguing storyline and brief achievements offer some appeal, especially given its free-to-play nature.

    • “The simple mechanics allow for a seamless experience, letting the narrative and characters shine.”
    • “Combining a love for the old with a willingness to innovate and utilize game mechanics to express ideas, rather than a binary input-output, this game should be on any and every one’s radar.”
    • “Written in the sky is a new revolutionary free to play that has taken game media by storm with very interactive gameplay that really draws the player in.”
    • “Gameplay - 0/10 no option to choose from; it's just like a storybook.”
    • “That means there are no choices or actual gameplay; you just click through the story until the end with no room for any replay value.”
    • “Overall this game has a huge con (no gameplay? shouldn't even be classified as a game!) and a few minor pros (being free is the only noteworthy one, the others don't really matter much).”
  • character development
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is widely regarded as minimal and underdeveloped, with the short length preventing meaningful progression or depth, especially outside the main duo. While some praise the character designs and artwork, many criticize them as generic or inappropriate for character age, and key characters lack adequate visual representation. Overall, the story and character interactions feel clichéd and rushed, leaving little lasting impact.

    • “The story promised some interesting character development between the main character, her father, and her otherworldly love interest, though it falls short of feeling fully developed or giving a real sense of progression.”
    • “Honestly, I would have preferred a longer story that allows for actual character development of both parties.”
    • “Limited character development is present outside the main duo, with most focus centered on them.”
    • “Its amateurishly written and the character development is almost nonexistent.”
    • “Honestly, I would have preferred a longer story, one allowing for actual character development of both parties.”
    • “Third act everything skips, we never see any character development, we only just met the characters and now we say our goodbyes with an unsubtle 'end' with what looked to be a promise of a war, and sense of dread and loss as war lingers on the horizon... nope, just end.”
  • emotional
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional impact of the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its wholesome, heartwarming story and touching ending, while others find it boring, lacking in emotional connection and depth. Success largely depends on player investment in the characters, as the narrative can feel functional or awkward and sometimes fails to evoke strong feelings. Overall, it offers a cute and unique emotional experience but may not leave a lasting impression on everyone.

    • “Chill and wholesome story.”
    • “A beautiful story, with great art and a touching ending.”
    • “Their relationship is both heartwarming and intriguing.”
    • “A short and boring story, unless gay sex is what you are wanting to read about.”
    • “Poor writing, boring story, no choices.”
  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its excellent and immersive music that enhances the narrative and builds tension during key moments. However, some feel that the adult content writing slightly disrupts the overall atmospheric consistency.

    • “Thrilling moments have dedicated atmospheric sounds to go with them, as well as any other major appropriate situation, and that’s always a plus.”
    • “Atmospheric music that enhances the narrative.”
    • “Excellent music and a good buildup in atmosphere.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers minimal replayability, as it consists mostly of clicking through a linear story with no meaningful choices or gameplay variations, resulting in low replay value.

    • “There are no choices or actual gameplay; you just click through the story until the end with no room for any replay value.”
    • “Replay value: 2/10”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious and unnecessary for casual players, who can reach high ranks without extensive repetitive play. The experience mainly involves progressing through dialogue rather than engaging gameplay.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent bugs and numerous typos, resulting in an overall unstable and incomplete experience.
