« I'm always a fan of mature VN's; ones built for adults rather than ones filled with "fanservice". This one fits nicely into that category. It's a bit short, but well made and very emotional. »

« Quite a decent story which may be missing some more endings. Specially great in sociology »

« I tried really really hard to get into this. 3 hrs over months trying to get a bit further, but ultimately quit out after 15-20 min bursts. Text on Steam Deck is too small. Writing is so much extra at every instance. Nothing happens. »

« Such a touching story full of details and affection. Options are quite limited as a VN, but does not hold down the strength of the story that the author wanted to convey. »
