Spending time with every character (completing their stories/quests) is also very fun!

19 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Pretty standard gameplay for a visual novel - but the ability to move around the map is a nice feature.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The After-school hours fully showcase the graphics of the game: a mix between the 2D/Anime artstyle for the characters, and a very pixelated/hard-to-make-out-what's-in-the-distance look for the world, which suprisingly manages to not be jarring and gives the game a unique look.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere has a nostalgic charm, and the soundtrack fits it really well.
