Why Not Both?

Great visual novel. The characters are all unique, each has quirks that make them feel real. I like how the story switches narration between Rio, Aspen, and Jen, its cool to see their individual perceptions as the story unfolds. And the story doesn’t rush itself, which is always nice because it feels like you get to know the characters well and get to see how their relationships naturally build. The art is cute, the music is cool, the world building paints a good picture, and the writing kept me engaged. I kinda hope there’s an update that gives us some kind of epilogue or something. But overall a great experience. Recommended for sure.

This is a good yuri visual novel. It follows a closely-knit friend group going to university in the 25th century, and there's some significant worldbuilding to make this solarpunk setting feel very real. However, while science fiction and futurism are certainly aspects of the story, this is just the world these women are all living in, and the plot focuses primarily on their various relationships with one another, both romantic and platonic. Overall the story is very wholesome and uplifting, conveying a message that there's no wrong way to experience (or not experience) love. I do wish the game had CGs though - even just 3 or 4 of them. These women and their relationships are all so cute, and as good and well-animated as the sprites are, I desperately need some hi-res art of these girls kissing!

The story is slow, but that pacing gives space to explore each character’s personal struggles in a meaningful way. The relationships develop organically, and I appreciated the subtle personality details that made everyone feel distinct and real. The chillhop, UI, and artwork are awesome and really suits the tone of the story. I hope it eventually gets voice acting, but even without it, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in visual novels that tackle complex human themes.

This VN really surprised me. The story is very wholesome. The characters have their flaws, but they’re genuinely kind toward one another. I want friendships like this in my own life. The story takes place far in the future, and that comes through several times, but it’s never the main focus. That actually helps it feel more natural, even with the sci-fi setting and background politics. Visually, the game is cute. The canvas-style backgrounds give it a handcrafted feeling, like the scenes jump from one painting to the next. Pair that with the chill soundtrack and you’ve got a cozy story. I also appreciated how the story explores ideas about identity and love. It gets heavy at times, but it’s handled well. If you’re looking for something emotional but wholesome, this is the VN for you.

This is one of the best visual novels I’ve played. The story takes its time, but that works in its favor, especially when the characters open up to each other and talk about their struggles. Those moments are written very well. Conversations about serious topics can be hard to pull off, but the writer does a good job of handling these discussions. One detail that really stood out to me was the stage direction. Almost every line of dialogue is paired with a change in facial expression, pose, or movement. It makes the characters feel more animated. I’ve played too many visual novels where characters just sit there, barely changing, so this was a relief. The soundtrack deserves a shout out. The music fits the story well. The art is cute but nothing too special. Having three different narrators is cool too. The UI is intuitive. Even the NSFW scenes are well written. My only real complaint is that the game has in-game achievements but not Steam ones, which feels a bit odd. Still, this i...
