Ended up buying this vn because it was similar to ATRI. I can't say which one is objectively better, but if you liked ATRI, this is definitely worth a try.

I'm so glad there are extra & afterstory, completed the whole vn in two sessions. Be prepared for heartbreak and shock, even if the ending is happy this story hurts and touches my heart deeply.

It's projects like this that make me love visual novels. Loved the OST and BGs

But this vn also has its downsides, unfortunately the maximum resolution of the game without pixelation is 720p, which is why you have to play in a window and all the most interesting things start to happen towards the end and in the extra (next), but this problem now extends to many novells.

IMO this novel is very beginner friendly, so if you have little experience with this genre, it's worth giving it a try!
Must read&play, 9/10. Looking forward to the adaptation, if there is one (I hope)!

OK, this was a really good VN, probably a solid 8/10. I will have to say it's not perfect though. It took me about 15 hours to get a full playthrough. This is one of the few VNs I actually wanted to take my time and read all of the text. Don't expect any adult content, this is a childhood longing that carries into being grownups, and that is absolutely fine.

The art is fantastic, the music is ... ok. There is a lot of supernatural things that happen, and plenty of twists even after the "main twist." There's a lot to unpack in the story.

There is one "true route," 2 bad ends, and 1 end that's bittersweet, and probably should have been the true ending. The "after story" is surprisingly long, and is where the bulk of the story really is. I think it was a bit convoluted and could have been trimmed down a bit. Don't get me wrong, it's a good story, but it kind of runs out of steam towards the end.

If you get the true end, make sure you click "extra" again to get the true, true end

One real gripe I have is the CG library only has the absolute minimum number of characters in it. I know Ginka is the story, but where's the pictures of Rin, Sensei, and the others??

If you are trying to learn Japanese, you can have both English and Japanese subtitles on the screen at the same time. Also, the interface is top notch, with plenty of save slots and customization options. No flow chart though, so save at the choices.

Shout out to the best cat around.
