What players say

A nice story, with beautiful 'shojoesque' art and music that complements it well. Short but with a satisfying ending. Interestingly, the first playthrough didn't grab me too much (I played it from time to time because reasons), but after the two subsequent playthroughs and following the brief guide to get the good ending, I ended up getting hooked. It's worth playing.

The beautiful, storybook-like imagery does not comfort me at all. If anything, it only makes the pain feel sharper, and its beauty somehow deepens the wound even more.

I think this VN is a gem 😭🥺💖 (finished it today, so i edited my text) - i like this art-style and some abstract or pretty sceneries. I like the music too - heavy, emotional drama story, shown in an abstract artistic way and well written, with a normal, bad and true end 💗🤧 (the true end really was it for me, i could love and accept it, it was so much more satisfying than the other ends, i cried) - ima probably vote...
