Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
88 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
Story: The very first part of the VN is a bit tedious, there are no real meaningful choices until you sit through a long prologue, but the prologue sets the scene and stakes very well.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
70 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
However, while the gameplay can be repetitive and confusing at times, it is pretty in-depth with a lot of options, so you at least never feel like there is nothing to do.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
The backgrounds and character designs are all extremely pretty, very well drawn, with a sort of painted art style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
OST: Good enough to just turn on the game and do something else honestly, the OST slaps.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
6 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
To make it brief, the story is far more captivating than the gameplay, the characters are fun and has wonderful personality, and the art (especially character design) are phenomenal.
