What players say
I bought it bc the graphics were really beautiful & I was going through a phase where I wanted to try a game like this. The graphics didn't disappoint but the characters... I found ALL of them unbearable, not exceptions. Every single character and couple was horribly cliché & thats why I stopped enjoying the game about halfway through, even though I still completed it with some extra stuff out of inertia. But...

I like the art, the soundtrack and the concept, but you get to know the characters so little and jump between each stories pretty fast. The pacing just ruined it for me.
A cute and wholesome game, but the characters and story lack depth. There is no development or tension in the game that leaves you bored. Only recommend buying if on sale.
