This game had the bones to be excellent but it felt like it fumbled a lot of its storylines - they clearly wanted to tackle tricky topics but I think they needed more refinement and maturity. I hope the developer comes back to visual novels with more life experience and gives it another go

Why is this free. This game is hilarious and reminds me of the daydreams I would have in school. I recommend playing this game simply because of the route choice. Kinda short but still enough

I highly recommend this VN. The art style is so soft and cute. The story goes pretty deep. Lots of replayability. There are multiple routes (friendship + sweet route per character) and all of the characters have a secret tragic backstory. It's really bittersweet in that sense. You as the MC slowly help them bring down their walls and help with the healing process. I ended up loving all the characters, even the jerk ones. The dialogue is very blunt and the characters sometimes act socially inappropriate, so it pretty much feels like high school all over again, which is fitting lol. It bothered me in the beginning but I got used to it, and started to enjoy the bluntness, especially from the protag who doesn't take nonsense from nobody. My only issue is that the skip button is broken where it will skip everything, even previously unseen text. This is a MAJOR problem for this VN more than others because new scenes unlock when you replay a route. For example, I will reload a previous save, and even if I choose the same choices, new scenes and dialogue have a high chance of showing up. You're better off playing each route from the beginning again.

Summery: I honestly think this game is really great! The game is medium in length (~2 hours per ending if you read everything), and has a pretty good story. Some endings seem to have more love and attention than others, which is a bit disappointing. Overall I love the game and would rate it a solid 4/5 or 8.5/10. Details (No specific spoilers): This game deals with some more serious topics, and I can appreciate the details and seriousness of these topics. The game does lack in some aspects, where some characters aren't given as much detail and attention in their story/writing as much as others. Some storylines/plot points are a little odd, and the MC is not the brightest. I was very surprised at a specific characters storyline, which had a LOT of plot twists and was very entertaining. A different character's, however, felt like it lacked some more plot and attention. It fell a little flat towards the end, and was not the greatest ending ever. I have played some endings at this time, but plan to play all. If you are expecting it to be the best game every with the best story line, It isn't. However, for a free game It was done very well and I give props to the team for their eff…

This quickly became one of my favorites. I finished the my first 2 routes and ahh i love this so much. The characters are adorable and well rounded, the storyline kept me hooked. I am so excited to do the other routes.

One of my favorite games. Even staying as friends the route is as satisfying
