The series finale leaves players begging for more: nearly every mention of the story leans positive, and the bulk of reviews hail from players who logged between two and ten hours. Yet a recurring gripe surfaces around the price tag, tempering what remains an overwhelmingly favorable reception.

What it's about: Murasaki's sister Yuuki has returned to Japan and begins bonding with the other members of Class A. Feeling out of place, Murasaki thinks back on when she first met Haruto. Where was the secret art Haruto sought out in her village really hidden?
