I thought the concept was interesting and I did enjoy the general story, however; there isn't much 'romance' in this.

Graphics – The art for this game is lovely and I love the little touches they put to make the gameplay feel more immersive, such as blurring the image when the heroine tears up, or having the screen pan to indicate the heroine looking around, or the moving sprites to show how the characters are interacting.
Characters
