Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
184 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The three main characters are definitely quite well-developed even if in the very same graphical style, and as I said it's great to follow their story although you're gonna follow mainly a "normal" teen visual novel story and not something like a novel from Cormac McCarthy or Stephen King.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music keeps on being quite appropriate, but a definitely negative thing is that the voice acting is available ONLY in Japanese, which probably cuts off many players.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game starts with awesome graphics, and sticks with them - although they are in my opinion a little bit too much flattened on a manga style that ultimately makes one want to have more distinctive characteristics in the main characters.. but it's definitely ok.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a bleak setting with two great wholesome characters to engage the main character, making it a bittersweet engagement.
