replayed this because it's one of my absolute favorite romance visual novels! coming back, i can still say that i absolutely adore this game and its characters. it's so easy for me to relate to teal [depressed n' awkward artists with issues past procrastination unite!] with the realism of the writing that i mentioned previously. and it's still super nice to feel represented despite my identity completely changing from the first time i played!! mfw i am just a gay dude with the he/himmery... something that i didn't mention is that i absolutely love the art style!! the flat light color palettes of each character sprite in front of the simple [and so lovely] backgrounds ... anyway not much else to say! just really love this game and i love praising it! short and sweet <3 [i still want to make fanart of joyce..]

i've had this in my "play later" collection ever since july 27, 2018, when it was still being made. this was the otome game that brought me back into the joys of playing otomes after my previous laptop broke and i lost everything,,thank you to this game! i had high expectations and they were all fulfilled,,the art, the plot, and the realism?? so good!! i literally felt like i was in this life. i felt connected to the mc [teal], since i'm super into art and i gotta admit, i feel pretty much the same way the mc feels about themself. i relate so much to mc and i'm so grateful that the creators thought about sexualities and romantic preferences and genders, because of this i was more accurately able to express myself!! though, i was a lil lil lil saddened that i couldn't say that i am panromantic, i was still able to express myself as a biromantic asexual person with a masculine appearance and they/them pronouns!! :) moving on, the other characters!! i absolutely ADORE them!! i used to not like phoenix because she made me feel bad about myself since i'm petty asf, but she definitely grew on me and i feel like she was genuinely my friend. everyone else, i just always loved! i really appreciate having an important character, zen, be someone of color as well! i was actually kinda surprised shuuj didn't have to do with the main story, but i'm still glad that they exist! really make the experience feel even more real and make me feel more loved. but can i JUST SAY. CAN I JUST SAY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AI. and i'm so glad that i got the joyce route i absolutely love him with all my heart and i want to drAW FANART OF HIM - anyway! thank you so much, boylaugh+. i loved every single second of the game. thank you.
i remember playing this game a very long time ago, i don't know why i didn't add it to my collection,,though, i remember really enjoying it and replaying it multiple times!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY LO R R R R D JESUS THERES A FI R E CHRIST I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCh P LE A SE THE PLOT IS AMAZING AND THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING AND AGHGHG THE ARTS AMAZING TOo ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE AN OTOME MADE ME FEEL E M P T Y AFTER PLAYING IT [ which i suppose is a bad thing,,,though it really means its quality ] PLE A SE ITS SO GOOd --
this. t h i s . this was one of the games that surprised me with it's beauty. it truly tugged at my heartstrings -- i love orion and caleb so much and summer is MMMM y e s . i love love l ov e paranormal ghost things so i was so glad that this turned out to be one of them, an otome as well! the story is beautiful, the music is beautiful, the art is beautiful, i love the way the background is made too, it's so creative and different,,,i played every single route including the special one and saw the epilogue thing -- god its so amazing and beautiful and i can definitely relate to the extremely near sighted thing lmao
i don't know why, but i really underestimated this otome,,,i wAS VERY SURPRISED, IT'S REALLY GOOD - at first i thought it was gonna be really casual but its just a g h really good, the characters are good, the art is good, the background, the music is good, the plot and story are good, aAAA the only issue i have is with the art and how sometimes the anatomy is a little o f f and there was an error in the coding i believe but it wasn't that bad! i really love it!
yo i finna cry just bc of what happens in the ending, i didn't really uh, l i k e the endings but it was certainly a plot twist that i've never seen before! very creative and i like kirbys design most wee wooo
though there are a handful of spelling errors and the characters aren't the moossttt realistic??, the art is really well made and i like the story nonetheless! the relationship between the mother and mc is very endearing, which is something that i really like about this vn - also the characters are interesting!
the story is very //sweet// haha sorry bUT REAlly i love the story and the characters! the art is very well made and i love the pastel colors, plus the variety of characters are very nice!
aghh its really really good!! i had a ton of fun reading the story and i loved the usage of slang and the characters oAAAA itS JUST SO gOOd,,the artwork is o n p o i n t as well-- very high quality
i love the art and plot, the characters are interesting and theres a lotta plot twists -- i can appreciate there being at least one semi-happy ending cus ahaha i'm a //sucker// for a happy ending HHaHAHAHAH im sorry
oh my gooOOD THis iS REALLY GOOd, the arts beautiful and so is the music that goes so well with the theme, i love the plot and the characters oh my g o d the designs are so Y E S and [[[SPoILERs]]] corvus' human design is super hot [[[nO MorE SPooKI SPOILers]]] BUT ONE OF THE BEST PARTS IS THE FAN SERVICE PART OH MY LORD IT WAS BEAUTIFUL P L E A S E
AGghHG I FUCKIng L OV E THIs ONe its probably up there in my top three most favorite otomes --- i love the detail and the art is really well made too,,the stories are unique as well! i think what really made me love this so much was dylan,,i really connect to his character and it just- ? ? ? ? the characters are just so likable and the plot a a a a a a so good
though there are a couple issues and you have to get used to some of the ""controls"" [idk specifically] and the art is not exactly what i prefer, the story is amazing?? its very endearing and some art like the background and characters like robin and creed [and sort of kira] are very well made ! i also love the voice acting for robin and creed, and while the other voice actors are mediocre quality i still like them wee woo,,it is the first visual novel the creator has made though, which is impressive in my opinion,,,plus its still a work in progress! ^^
at first i kinda thought this would be a seduce me ripoff but no, the character's designs are way different and the plot is more simple [though this isn't that bad of a bad thing!] and there is a lot of art! i really love it, it's not what i expected and i appreciate that there is also a female route
love the art style and the characters! i absolutely love the story too aaaa
the characters are really sweet and i love the theme and art ! the story is also really nice
cute ! i like the art style and idea
holy hecc its a really good game and its so A A A A ?? i love how it has voice acting too, it was surprising to me at first but i absolutely love it - the art is really nice and i love the story and characters
agh its so sweet and smol i love it all
oof love the story and the characters, really brought me in ,, the artstyle is very good too and i love the theme -- the story really just a f f e c t e d me, which even though it pains my poor soul, i absolutely love how a story can do that, it really means that it's good!
