Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With the long length of each character's route and in Refrain, the scriptwriter has done an excellent masterpiece in creating a detailed background of each character with interesting plot hooks and at least a tragedy in each character route and in Refrain, where reading through each route was captivating and interesting throughout all 4 hours.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The circumstances behind these events are over the top even by anime standards, but the emotions being relayed in the climax get through whereby it hits the feels pretty hard, boosted by the soundtrack that's next level even among the high standards of VNs.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is on spot, the OST goes all out, and the character design is really great.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for the gameplay elements, the UI is perfectly funtioning, not remarkable or anything, but completely fine and the Busterpedia is a cute little addition for those who don't get all of the Japanese-centric references and nods.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This visual novel really just nails everything: the story, the music, the characters, the atmosphere, the humor, the mini games, and even the visuals.
