Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters 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.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
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.

The soundtrack complements this aesthetic beautifully—composed of upbeat, nostalgic chiptune melodies that evoke a sense of adventure and whimsy.
