This is probably one of my favorite games I've played in a long time, and easily the most polished. It could definitely be described as easy to pick up and hard to put down-- I finished my first playthrough in one 5-hour sitting. The artwork is stunning, and it ran smoothly without ever dropping a frame (which is very impressive on this computer. Even Ren'Py visual novels make my cursor lag). There's a surprising amount of depth with such simple mechanics, and it was brutally challenging without ever feeling unfair. I fell in love with all the characters and I can't wait to try to find all of the endings. It's so clear how much love and care was poured into this game. I really can't sing its praises enough.
