This was really well done! It was a very relaxed and casual experience, learning about these people and their background. The little minigame of connecting the stars was a great way of breaking up the pace a little and giving the players a breather from the story.

The music was incredible! I especially liked the song at the credits. When the electric guitar comes in it feels really powerful and like a great way to close the story. Really well done! :D

I had one technical issue, which was that my screen was too small too move the camera around in the stars minigame. I did not have any space below the game in my browser window, so I could not move the camera. Luckily it was easily fixed by connecting my laptop to a bigger monitor :)

This was an amazing experience! Very well done! ^_^

The story is very well written and i almost could feel like i was being with them :)

The music was excellent. The music that plays during part where Fuyumi talks about how she stood up to her parents sound like one of Joe Hisaishi’s that, coupled with the one in the credits, somehow made look like a Ghibli’s movie.

The changes of dialog, however, had a weird “jump”: you could clearly see a different text in the transition and, at first, i thought that i was skipping text—fortunately, the dialog log told me i was wrong.  It seems that the next line is show in full before clearing the background and starting again letter by letter.  I made a “slow motion” GIF to show the effect:
