Fantastic visual novel, with a lot of choices that even matter. Nice artwork and storyline (and characters, by the way). Well, the sexual content tag can be misleading, because its not really explicit sex scenes, but more of a romance/dating story. Not too complicated and fun to read through.

Sweet story, no sex scene and no need for this in this sweet, simple VN. Just a mature story of forgiveness, and true love. And for one time the boy is smallest, younger and more fragile than the girl. Adds the simplicity of the background and character design and you have an unique VN stand out from the crowd. Very great, very good!

This is a good romance story talking about something that is rarely ever conceived possible. Or taboo if you live in the sexually oppressed U.S. A romance story about a tall girl and a short guy. I commend the devs for taking on this perspective because people need to know about this and keep an open mind about it. Don't worry, the couple is of legal age which is 18(for the boy) and an older woman(fairy). The writing could have been a little better but it's detailed enough to keep you interested in the story without leaving you confused. Although it does "time jump" (going from one event to the other without a transition.) between events sometimes leaving you a bit disoriented. But the story keeps it together somehow. Besides the transition slip ups, the story is pretty solid, The plot is followable and the chracters are likable. The characters seem to have open minds in the story and that's what I like. No discrimination. I think the point of this story is when it comes to love, size ...

English: This is a sweeeeet Game^^ But if u wanna see naked women, this Game ISNT for u. Mostly i play games with uncensored patches, but this dont need one,its funny,the story is ok and the characters are adorable. The game gives a f..... of gender rolls and thats nice too. Ive played 2 hours 40 and achieved both endings. And 6 to 7 bucks are not too much, for this good VN. The only negative thing is that u dont have much choices. Brew a coffee and have almost 3 hours of fun^^ PS: The Menu Sound and the Gametheme are very good Deutsch: Als erstes vorneweg: Wer nach einem Spiel sucht wo man möglichst explizite Sexszenen sieht, kauft das Spiel NICHT. Ich habe meine Steam Bibliothek voll mit VNs zu denen es Uncut Patches gibt, dieses Spiel hat keinen und braucht auch keinen,es unterhält auch ohne Sexszenen gut. Die Geschichte ist ok, teilweise auch witzig und die Charakteren wissen auch zu gefallen. Mit meinem 3er englisch(Hauptschule,Realschule,Fachgymnasium) konnte ich ...

PERSPECTIVE REVIEW [code][h1]SUMMARY:[/h1][/code] This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes reading. After having an extra year to reflect upon it, I believe that this game really is a must-play for anyone who can appreciate a deep & meaningful story about actions & consequences. [b](This game is NOT nearly as sexual as the store tags currently suggest. The most suggestive items include bikinis & what you see in the screenshots on the front page. In terms of anything slightly "sexual" what you see in the store is EXACTLY what you get.)[/b] Not all of the routes go as deep, so I would definitely recommend trying some different routes - not necessarily with different girls. You can choose to be faithful between playthroughs, but it's really important that you see what the backstory & pain of these characters has to offer; that is where the story becomes most impactful, and even mind-blowing. If you get a ha...

Within a Rose has one lovely "Black Fairy" in it which made me enjoy this VN. They also incorporated a well known Fairy Tale into the Story which I kinda always like and the Writing overall is at least decent. The Art itself is also pretty good and although there is no H-Content, it doesnt really feel like anything is missing like with some other VNs. The Story is pretty short, so it will only take around 3 hours to complete pretty much the entire Game and I would always love if those short VNs would have made their Stories a bit longer. Nevertheless even though the Story is so short and I normally dont like short Stories as much, this one still was able to show a nice Development of the Relationship between the Protagonist and "Des". I personally feel like the second Heroine wasnt really the main focus as her Route isnt as good, but it still gives you a different approach. There are just a small amount of Spelling or Gammer Mistakes but nothing really too bad. Overall a pleasant rea...

I completely loved the game. Very enjoyable, great writing and a bit frustrating because of the multiple endings, you need to play again and again to get the story right. Very well done. I look forward to your future works! Bug tip: when allowing the user to SKIP, pause back to the relevant question, not the response.

Its a fun read. I have 100 percent content completed in the game and i have 4.8 hours into it. Characters are relateable and the dialouge is interesting. Maybe a rerelease with updated visuals would be great. Its got that "devientart" vibe to it if you have ever looked at sonic fan art or generic anime character on devientart. There is some Eye Candy, but its very low for this kind of thing. Plot is worth a read and figuring out the different scenarios is enjoyable too.

So... the basis of this game is the the story of "Sleeping Beauty" was a little embellished. Rose was only unconscious for a few hours. However, this leads to the dark fairy who cursed her to be captured in a rose. Hundreds of years later, Rose's descendant accidentally releases said dark fairy, named Desdemona, and she... takes a liking to him. The stories (at least the good endings) are sweet actually, and there is a bit of backstory that can help to explain the emnity between the royal family and Desdemona. Good read, and I would recommend.
