The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.99. That was April 2025. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 71 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $12.84, a level the record has reached 21 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Everhood ($9.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Sayonara Wild Hearts ($12.99, scores 63).

Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 326 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 95 percent of the 105 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 9.7 hours. Doing everything runs 31, 3.2 times as long.

This was an amazing read, I came into this thinking it'd be a simple romance VN but no, the story goes so deep and it hits you right in the feels. I wish I could experience everything all over again.

It is my favorite visual novel. But I've played it somewhat 15 years ago, and I can tell it didn't age well. Don't get me wrong, I still love it for the vibe and romance. And I also like all 3 girls very much, especially Torta. No one deserves happiness more than her. But playing it now, when I'm almost 40, I can see just how flawed it is. For the music lover and past musical student like me it holds the very...
