To me this is the best visual novel ever made. It's not technically impressive and it doesn't have a whimsical setting, some might even say it's characters aren't that interesting. But this game has what matters most: heart. It will make you cry, it will make you joyous, it will make you feel all of the things. There may not be another VN like it. It conveys what it wants you to feel impeccably, the characters are designed well, and the soundtrack is a treat. I firmly believe everyone should play this at some point.
