What players say
The game is extremely good, i cant even put it into words. The art style is very amazing. The 2d pixelated graphics and gameplay isn't what some people like but i love it. The main story is nice and all the different endings are unique in their own way and some heart breaking. And, I have to say the VC is extremely nice and well done. The achievements do take time but maybe that's bad on my part cuz I didn't save it...
