The game is well done, it's a really enjoyable experience, a short but good story. The art is amazing, the characters feel interesting and you want to know about them. Iroha is really good, but I feel like Ren falls back a bit, he could have had a better development, I feel like he is a bit plain as a protagonist, the story could have developed more his guilty for the past, or added more to "spice up" the character. That being said, it's a really good and charming visual novel
