I liked the puzzles, I liked the mechanics, heck I even liked the characters which is something I don't often find in dating sim games.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The plot seems to be a simple but heart-warming story with a handful of cool twists, some of which I saw coming and some...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music was also a joy to listen to, even after 60 hours I enjoy the soundtrack overall.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The charming visuals and character writing carried me through this last stretch, however, and the whole game can be finished in less than 30 hours, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art, writing, story, character design, music, and general game feel are all extremely well done, albeit a bit cliche.
