95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The memorable game OST helps to set in the tone and atmosphere of various routes, and some which I still listen to.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you like choice games where every single dialogue option can change outcomes; the storytelling and themes the game builds itself around are captivating and make you really think; If you are a huge fan of art and animation and enjoy stunning visuals and creative character designs and scenery; or if you enjoy visual novels about love and connection but are adverse to regular "dating sims".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Finally, the game's visual style is able to appropriately and effectively fit the style of a storybook by having hand drawn backgrounds and a minimalistic choice of colours, mainly blacks, whites, greys and occasionally reds for blood, which makes the visuals very stylised to look at.
