Yeah, just gonna start off by saying this game hit pretty hard. Definitely teared up a lot reading this one through, especially at the end, and a lot of different emotions were felt throughout this journey.
ART: The art, imo, was really beautiful. It's not the best I've seen in a visual novel, but it's very stylistic and gorgeous in it's own ways which to me, is even better than just having generically good art; not that this isn't also just generically good art. The scenery was very good and I felt that each location delivered exactly what it should have in terms of emotions and vibe. The characters look really good but I especially love all the different CG's of Ai. 9/10 for art.
STORY: I thought the plot was very engaging, but there were a lot of moments where I was reading and thinking "Okay this is great and all, but can we get back to the story?". Just some moments that felt very filler that didn't really contribute much to the overall plot or even that much to character development. Found myself just skimming these portions to get back to the good stuff, but there isn't too much of this thankfully. For the record, the good stuff I mentioned good stuff is VERY good. I won't spoil anything here, but I would definitely say it's worth a read and if you haven't read this yet you are MISSING OUT. 8/10.
YURI: The yuri is very good. There are no forced hetero moments besides a very minor one (that doesn't end up happening) where nothing physical happens at all. Definitely nothing to worry about if you're just in this for the pure yuri. That aside, the yuri doesn't seriously begin taking place until the middle to nearing the end of the story. The first half is mostly just world and character building, however the yuri that we do get from this is very satisfactory. There can always be more yuri scenes, but I didn't leave this feeling disappointed about the amount we got. Yuri 9/10.
Overall, I absolutely recommend this to anyone thinking about picking it up. You may want to consider looking at a guide if you want to get the true endings, as they are pretty counter-intuitive and not very obvious at all. I played through thinking I was making good choices, only to be left with an ending I did not like at all. Not because it was bad, but because it was very sad. Anyways, in the future I will definitely be rereading this because it is that good, and I'm honestly really sad that it's over.
