The visual design of the levels is beautiful and immerses you in the seasons it’s supposed to represent, even in its 16-bit art style.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects aren't too special but sound good and get the job done.

Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

Normally when I've looked for games like that on Steam, I confess disappointing results as they usually result in either cheap porn or puzzle games (Summer Flowers doesn't count as it had a good story and great art) or they're downright repulsive garbage visual novel games like Amorous or Farnham Fables.
