Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style I must say is incredible, its unlike what most VN's have and has a certain charm to it; and not just the characters the backgrounds are very good also, the game has a great use of colour to contrast between various scenes and locations.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The main menu is an interesting design that mimics a girl's dresser contents with interactive actions for a music and art gallery upon story completion as well as a preferences area that reflect Ren'Py actions/UI options.
