Sunshine in a bottle.

Rarely you spot a game that looks really different, a real-time rendered visual novel, each dialogue made into its own scene, a little diorama for each moment, it really sticks with you and makes reading it a joy.

I would say that some times the way the anime style is adapted into 3D can make the faces seem too long, Ashley's being the most obvious. Despite that it manages to create amazing and beautiful scenes with its tools.

The writting is generally excellent, you feel a voice here, these characters breathe more than you expect them to. Biggest issue is probably all the "quirky" moments, I have no issue with pop culture references or a small derail in the tone, I would say these "cringey" moments don't feel enough like part of the characters themselves but the writter getting bored.

But it doesn't happen often, and the rest of the experience is something that sticks with you, I know it will stick with me.
