Short Sad Stories

The game is by no means short, and the writing is really good. Despite having a large cast, everyone was given ample screen time, allowing each character and storyline to develop properly. I do wish the visuals had been better though, as I feel the game had the potential to be much more successful.

I wouldn't call it fun, but it is enjoyable. Quite a few twists and turns, and not all for the worse, although quite a few can be seen coming from a mile away. Nice models and faces. A pleasant mix of somewhat realistic bodies. Backgrounds are a bit limited, but overall the art was quite consistent throughout the story. Clearly picked and chosen with some care, rather than thrown together. The writing could use a grammar and editing pass. Missing words, weird expressions, a few basic typos. Nothing major. As to the story itself, one thing that stood out to me was Olivia's recovery. That stuff takes major effort and time, and not just from her. The story implies she was basically left alone after a while. And then she's just walking again. That was highly unbelievable. Many of the stories interweave, and it all feels compressed time-wise. Also, why didn't we see the scene with Mia and the Bagel guy? Someone chickened out... Anyway, well worth a play through.

I may not be able to finish this VN. Not because it is bad; but because it is too good. Short, powerful and, so maddeningly sad. Well worth it.

Good writing and more "real" than "sad".

Not as short as the title suggests, sadder than the genre would suggest, but the sadness is there to be overcome; ultimately these are (interwoven) stories about life, love and friendship. And there is plenty to laugh about as well. And plenty of sex. Or not that much; your choice.

Sad yet Happy, Beautifully written.
