I'm not usually a fan of this type of vn - the short kinetic down to earth nakiges, but this wasn't the case here. The comfortable yet dreary atmosphere, the charming cast, the theme of memories and how they make us who we are, of living with your emotions, and finally the plot under the surface; this came together to make a great ride in the span of only a few hours that left me misty multiple times.

Unfortunately what makes me dock points is that the vn is too short to completely capitalize on everything it introduces. I feel like if there was even more time to flesh out the characters and their dynamics, I would be even more attached to them. What especially irks me is that there's such fascinating worldbuilding there that feels almost wasted. I can imagine this being an absolutely amazing magical realism and charage if it was longer and produced better.
