TLDR: A good visual novel that has some unique elements alongside its great creative writing.
65 of 117 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Technically speaking, the game also has a very solid OST (as of the time of writing, more songs will be added as the game leaves Early Access), gorgeous backgrounds and CGs and a very fun system of unlockable journal and gallery entries to collect.

Replayability QoL and additional content encourage players to engage/explore the story a bit more after their first playthrough without being a chore, which is nice.

Graphics

The characters feel like a real friend group, the visuals are good, and the story wraps up in an exceptionally satisfying manner that I will not spoil.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I think some of the new timeline menu and completion percentage breakdown are great QoL changes that definitely motivate me to 100% the game more than the beta edition.
