Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
However, the team behind the game seems incredibly small, and I can absolutely 100% say that the story behind this game is worth playing even through machine translation.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
On a gameplay level, it's pretty well polished, I really enjoyed making all the choices and going back to see the alternatives using the system the game gives you, and the game contains a lot of nice extra features like speech bubbles that appear to one side to denote background conversations happening.

The artwork and sound design are also really well done, did a good job creating both tense and lighthearted atmospheres.
