Really nice, short v/n. I love the art and the characters are pretty interesting. For a free v/n I'd recommend, my only issue (minor) is that in some parts the audio did feel a little empty ig but like other than that it was really nice. The overall aesthetic of the storys pretty nice too although I'm not the best at describing things so I'd recommend you just play it yourself. It's free.
Kinetic novels with only two characters already tend to be boring, but the fact that, of the 2 girls presented in the story, one is a cryptic individual who refuses to take part in conversations that are not about magic, while the other just seems to be entranced with her from the get-go and for no reason at all, makes this game really, really boring. The characters are just uninteresting and any and all development, if we can really speak in such terms, is far, far from subtle and natural. The soundtrack is almost nonexistent.
Short, sweet, cute, man I want to [spoiler]fuse...[/spoiler] Lil spoiler there
