What players say

I can't believe this game isn't talked about. I played the whole game in two days, only taking breaks for work and to sleep. I very much recommend it.

1 more review, not recommended
It left a lot to be desired. Introduction was solid, middle was great and then the path leading to the end...? Not quite masterfully executed. If you want depression, play Virche Evermore. If you want more fuwafuwa romance, literally play any other otome game. This is one that makes you yearn for something that will never meet expectations.
