What players say
I'm primarily recommending this for Kurisu's and Mayuri's segments. Kurisu's situation leans more into the comedy of Gadget #12 whereas Mayuri's (rightly) focuses on her subdued romantic interest in Okabe and how they overcome their awkward relationship issues. Unlike Linear Bounded Phenogram, though, the side characters' routes really aren't that interesting to read. It's mostly fluff (like the title promises). I'd...
Freed from the shadow of tragedy, even the most ordinary days begin to feel precious. Perhaps happiness was there in those ordinary moments all along.
One of the best story games I think I've ever played, would recommend to absolutely anyone.
