the art is beautiful and while i do agree the ending feels rushed i also believe this game has to find you at an specific time of your life, mostly because of the topics it touches.
i really enjoyed the starting acts, it was a fun lil detective work, but once the "downfall" started and the small dialogues with the parasite began i started to lose it, it's a beautiful piece that made me stay completely still through the credits, making me doubt every choice i made, i do believe i'm going to think about this one for a while

this would've been a 5 if it didn't have so many bugs, it's quiet and relaxing it's the perfect length where it doesn't get annoying to do the same repetitive days over and over, the scenery is cute, and it lets you be a little fruity but god... the bugs, the audio overlaps, cutting conversations in half, the radio won't turn off sometimes, and on one of the last days i was randomly transported to the other half of the map, without the van, which would have meant walking back to the town at a stupid slow speed... if i hadn't know that drowning yourself tps you back inside the van... the little cutscenes are pretty awkward because the pjs don't move, have this weird dead fish eyes and have random cuts, so it looks a bit like they started making them and stopped in the middle of it, 0 polishing on them.
but overall, it's playable, it's kinda short and does the trick if the premise catches your eye.

i can get why it's a good otome but it's def not for me, i've pushed trough four routes and while one of them was fun the other three were hell, i didn't get attached to any of them because the story didn't really prompt me to? the romance is barely there and forced through the last 10 minutes of edo blossoms.
chizuru is... something, i kept wishing she would do something other than follow the LI around.

i went through one route and i would've enjoyed it if i was... 14? but most of the dialogue was cringey or very plain, ichigo was creepy most of the time with her obsession with yaoi thrown there every two sentences, and haru's route is fucked up in general.
i wouldn't call it a bad game overall i guess? art is kinda cute for a free game and it seems to be lengthy but the writing bunks it

really adorable short game but has nothing going on except for either very intuitive puzzles or confusing ones.
the story is almost nonexistent and very very vague and the "quests" felt too lineal, would've loved a bit more of open exploration and consistency on the puzzles, the art is really cute and it's a good choice nonetheless if you've 4-5 hours to spare!
