I haven't played a visual novel in a while, and this was a stellar one to get back into the genre with. I loved the characters, the way they were introduced, and the pacing felt really solid the whole way through. I also liked having different dialogue choices since it made the experience more interactive and made me want to see what would happen if I picked something else. Overall, I had a great time with it, and I'm really excited to see a continuation and where the story goes next.
The story is very engaging with deep and interesting characters. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up reading it twice. Everything felt well done, especially how the events were arranged; it kept me interested and hooked the whole time. The music was very expressive and fit every scene perfectly. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I really hope there will be a sequel because I’d love to read more.
