✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise this short visual novel for its beautiful art, excellent music, and engaging writing that blends joy with melancholy across multiple endings. The main criticism centers on its brevity and limited replay value due to only two choices leading to three endings, though most feel the quality of the experience justifies the length. Some note it skews toward younger audiences with its fairy tale tone, but those who connect with its existential themes and character-driven story consider it one of the best short games available on Steam.
Unexpectedly, this visual novel became such a unique experience for me. I'm afraid it'd be next to impossible to write an objective review as to recommend it or not to others, so I'd just like to express my personal gratitude for a wonderful time I had. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613185929 I bought this novel because I always try to play all the visual novels created by my native developers but I always read them in English, no exceptions. I check for the quality of Russian as well but not for long. I guess there was too much English for me recently, as that's the main language I use both for work and fun. So when I started this novel as usual in English BUT heard Russian voice-over I was struck. First minutes I didn't know what to do, how to perceive the story, I simply couldn't read one language but listen to the other. My mother language just refused to merge with the background sounds as it happens with Japanese, for example. Soon, I gave up. I just glanced at the English text but was so deeply absorbed by the Russian voice-over. I was mesmerized by kinda forgotten beauty of my own language.

Beautiful
So I originally played the game on Switch and then bought it again on Steam for the achieves. Overall a decent Otome. It's short, there is only one love interest, there are two endings, there are some choices, the art is pretty decent, and the story is pretty decent. It's not my favorite game, but it was pretty fun to play through.
Short existential fairy tale with ridiculous story. More for for young audiences than for adults.
Beautiful art, music, writing, and a really good story. Lots of joy and melancholy, three engaging characters, romance, friendship, and all sorts of endings. Very fun game and one of the best short games on Steam!!
The game is very short, the visual style is not that great but still touching. The plot is a bit interesting and the end is not so predictable. (there are a few of them, some are easy to predict and others aren't) Overall the game is cool and relaxing, music is outstanding (to be honest, it is so calm and intense at the same time, I guess that can both sleep and work while listening to it if you wanted to) Recommended
