Actually one of the best experiences of my life. Starts pretty light with mainly SoL, and it slowly becomes bleaker and bleaker. It's a pretty ''quiet'' tragedy, like a light slowly going out, that really ended making me believe there was no hope. And that's the most effective kind of tragedy for me. Accompanied by absolutely beautiful music, it made me experience an infinite sadness that felt like too much to bear at times (literally my kind of shit).

It's also special to me the outlook it gives on life during certain points of the story, I think it's a very feel-good and optimistic VN at its core even if it ripped me apart in the most hideous way imaginable.

I've enjoyed pretty much everything i've immersed in during my JP learning journey, but this is the first time something has impacted me this hard, and that makes me even gladder i started learning JP in the first place
