One of the best visual novels I've ever seen, and definitely the best point-and-click game I've played in a long time. Playing this and replaying it just to experience all the different choices, outcomes and endings has been an absolute joy!
While this game doesn't offer many puzzles, and the stories are all short and sweet, the connections between the stories that cause them to interweave with each other are what really make this game shine. The way the final episode provides historical context to the other three is particularly brilliant, making the characters feel almost real in a sense.
Because the events of each episode change slightly based on choices you make in the other episodes, you could easily replay this game a dozen times and find something new each time! It is worth noting, however, that the lack of achievements does limit replayability on the Switch version. An in-game equivalent system would fix this.
The graphics, audio, and overall UI of the game also provide this wonderfully artsy feel to everything, making the game feel especially charming and beautiful, kinda like a little window into the 1910s. Together, they create a wonderful aesthetic that really suits the story and characters, which makes it really easy to stay engaged.
So to reiterate, if you enjoy visual novels, point-and-click adventures, or even if you just want to experience an interesting story, I can't recommend this title enough!
