Well, where do I begin? Perhaps I shall start on a warm, sunny day in Japan, where the cherry trees are blooming and the air smells *lovely*
The graphics, the storytelling, the connection to real life events, the music/sound fx, all excellent! I took QUIIIIIIIIITE longer than the anticipated hour, but there was a lot of side commentary. I can partially relate to what the character is referring to--just moving from one state to another in the USA can be such a shock. The way one feels out of place when they discover a new place, the pangs of homesickness.
I had a feeling the story was going to go the way it did. I made sure to save/ quicksave right before the Big Decision and I'm glad I did. Got to see both ending paths, and WHOOOAAAAA. Well done. Also, the way you tied in the title to the game. Brilliant!
An issue I had was when going to fullscreen mode, on my primary screen the scenes changed, but my mouse disappeared. On the stream, it was stuck on the "preferences" menu. Windowed mode worked perfectly fine. This issue occurs in the first 10 minutes.
Overall, an absolutely beautiful story, well written, emotional. I hope lots of people get to experience this!
