I'm hesitantly recommending this game, but I'll go more into detail below. It tells the story of college student Asami and the challenges she faces in life - from navigating her relationships with love interests and family, to dealing with her own emotionally distant personality (she's a total tsundere and I dig it). I have to say that the main reason I recommend this game (aside from the great music and beautiful art), is the writing, which in my opinion makes or breaks an otome like this. I thought the common route was intriguing, and I never got bored. The pacing worked well in my opinion, and I really liked how you can almost tell at certain scenes when a love interest begins seeing Asami in a different light or starts to have feelings for her. Also, I liked how they really dived into Asami's relationship with art and painting. It made the story feel well researched and more personal. Some otomes might just use it as a backstory like "MC is an art student" as a way to move the ...

the art is beautiful and the characters are well-written. it's probably not a bad game at all, but i have some complaints, the more minor one being that it felt a bit long-winded... i felt like some parts dragged out more than necessary and i skipped through a lot of scenes. the more severe complaint, and the one that really tipped the scales for me, is that the choices felt like they didn't matter at all while they were happening, but then the ending you get is determined by whether you made 100% 'correct' choices or not. the way choices are worded, most of the time i wasn't even picking the choice that suited me best, because the options you are presented with differ so much from the actions/words they result in. it's fine for dialogue to be a bit vague like that, but what actions you are choosing should be more clear, especially when even a few wrong choices in a sea of correct ones can result in a bad ending. (especially such a long ending, where the character makes choices witho...

First of all, thank you so much for this game! It's cathartic in a way because I have almost the same way of thinking and acting as Matsubayashi... So I felt it was about me, more than in any other game before, and I think you poured all your heart into that game and I'm so happy you pushed through the difficulties of making it and published it! The artwork, the music... And especially the writing was astoundingly good, you had me tear up, squeal or laugh so easily... I had to stop several times because it had touched me so much... The game user interface is easy to use and I like the fact that you have implemented a "love stat" and it's a really good idea to not put it in a front page, so the people that don't want to use it won't be spoiled by mistake. Even if I find it out only during my second playthrough :P I bought the Best Value Pack directly after that and I'm happy to see that one of the dev is in France! I'm french so I'm happy to see that otome games are done in France to...

Apparently the last route isn't coming...so i spent full price for this

I love this.

I haven't really finished this game yet... but so far it's really good. The art style is absolutely beautiful and the storyline is amazing! Can't wait to complete it!
