What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate this visual novel's atmospheric design, engaging story with an absurdist philosophy, and soothing presentation that makes it suitable for Japanese language practice. However, some find the exploration elements confusing and unclear about objectives, while others struggle with the Japanese language difficulty or feel the game doesn't clearly communicate what to do despite its story-heavy focus.

Time to learn japanese. I didn’t get very far.2 found this helpful
This is a story heavy game, as a visual novel should be. Story segments are interluded by an adventure/survival minigame that can be skipped. The music and visuals blend very well and makes for a fleshed out experience. (Spoilers Ahead) I first played this game not long after its release, but the story was unfinished back then so it is really surprising to me that the story turned out to be the author's spin on Absurdism. Basically Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy but in visual novel form with anime girls.1 found this helpful
I am playing it for my Japanese and it has a soothing atmosphere, design and UI and the conversations are easy to understand so far. I recommend it for those who wanna practice reading and improve their Japanese along with a good story.
too much to explore, idk what to do.
