Lin Mo gradually discovers that this sharp-tongued, proud, and outwardly childish girl seems to be hiding many secrets that her appearance belies.For Lin Mo, who has long lost his motivation for change, will this encounter that began in a coffee shop be the opportunity he needs to break free from his dull life?

✦ AI summary

This visual novel follows a touching story about a corporate worker and struggling artist supporting each other through life's difficulties, featuring charming characters and decent art design that appeals to fans of wholesome indie VNs. Players generally praise the short length, character designs, and fanservice elements, though some note that the Chinese localization's grammar feels awkwardly close to Japanese phrasing and lacks natural flow. The game has generated enthusiastic responses for being a solid free indie title, though it contains suggestive content that may not suit all players.
