This is the top tier of visual novels/games/stories. The graphics, the writing, the story, the h-scenes, everything about it is executed perfectly in my book. In terms of romance options, your choices matter, so you actually have to play the game (so to speak) to unlock all the scenes, and the story is just as compelling of a reward as the h-scenes themselves. The graphics, music, and animations are all fantastic. There are also plenty of choices in the game, so it really is interactive and it's not just on rails the whole way through. Personal preferences aside, this really is a masterpiece of a game that everyone should play through.
