Ahh i finished the game crying inside TvT... Tho the story seems short but it wan an interesting journey! It might seem slow at first, with some confusions but things will make sense once you reach to the final arc :") i really loved the calm soundtracks that helped playing with my emotions in certain scenes~ Tho there are some scenes that i wished to have its full illustration to capture it, and at some other scenes, it missed some consistency, along with some tinyy UI glitches, but i loved the choice of words and the way they described emotions ;^; and of course, the illustrations were very beautifully made! i had to pause sometimes to stare at the details~ i've always admired Pluvias's artworks, and she did a great job here as well as all the illustrators who worked on this project! thank you for this experience <3 will be waiting to any future projects you make ^^

Wholesome and heartfelt. It's a very short, kinetic visual novel. There aren't any fancy bells and whistles here. Just a simple story about a family caught in a strange moment, one that's cracked and frayed because of decisions. The writing can be a little bit obtuse, and it felt like there were a few plot threads I would have liked to get resolved. But given the scale of the game, it's not too big of a deal. The conclusion is full, while the individual scenes are very dramatic and evocative, which is good enough on its own. The music is also nice, and although the art isn't stunning by any means, it's pretty and serviceable. All in all, this is just nice. It's a pity more people haven't played it. People who likes introspective, heavier, broodier stories about family, siblings, divorce, and coping with loss will really enjoy this. And clocking in at little over an hour, it's a nice chance to wade into an emotional story without any deep commitment.

i cried so hard at ken's arc ohym god,,, really short game u can't interact with all that much and a few grammar errors here and there. i also would've wished for some kind of resolution with negai especially since we don't know if yumi and negai make up after the cafeteria incident, and i think it would've been better if we actually did see yumi empathize more with negai's father situation, given how many times she accuses her for not understanding, and it feels like it's amounted to just her being a bad friend for insulting her and shutting her out. i think that portion meant to say she did acknowledge it but i feel like there still could've been more on that matter. that being said, the storyline made me ugly bawl. the message of this game is really sweet and something that a lot of people need to hear. when yumi allowed the letter to fly in the wind, that was the strongest display of yumi's growth throughout, and actually a really daring decision to go with the message, since i thi...

Short but very moving VN, well written and with beautiful character art and music. The ending made me tear up. Definitely worth the read.

I've played on my phone so this is why I don't have so many hours here on steam. A short and quite touching story, even if the script and the UI could use some work and also allow people to save the game in the middle of the chapter. Awesome art/backgrounds and I loved the OST it really helps to contributes to add depth to the story and immersion.
