So I been interested in this for a good amount of time, and finally tried it out.
And...it's peak. I really love the story, and huge credit that, you have something rare, patience. Yes this will have adult stuff (probably from the tags), but it is later. Most would had shown stuff by the first or second update. Plus, actually showing building characters, them hating each other, and growing again, is amazing. How 2 can be close, then just...break from one decision, is actually great and fitting for the characters.
What I also love, but also feel weird on to be fair, is the time aspect. Yes our main guy has bad memory, but it is interesting the game feels like time passes quickly. Like you have the first day, then the week is over with it being Sunday, then the incident, then back to school. I love it, don't get my wrong, but it also make it interesting seeing how time affects the characters.
And I love a lot of the decisions made, Like showing Hina losing, or well having to love who he is now over the past, is great. Now obviously shown of his memory is hitting, which I am curious on. And the end...it hits hard BECAUSE it took time for even 1 step to move, and I am curious on the results.
What I am also super curious on is...the future. Like will the main guy be with all the main 5 girls? Or will it be you pick one to be with. SInce you really put a lot to make those 5 girls really care for Keiichi, and him to care for them. I guess I am curious also on, say others relationships, since there is hints on some maybe also liking others, though those can be jokes. I mean I will say this, this can easily be the best written story where it isn't a harem, but a true loving poly relationship where each help the other, and love each other equally.
Also I love seeing the parents and little aspects of them, especially Hina's mom, knowing...something happens. I don't know, I very curious on the future of this game, especially what the choices mean for most of this, and what will happen in the end.
So you really have a homerun in my opinion. But with that, it also feels interesting that this could also...just end in a few updates. Like it feels like an early start of a long story, we are midway in a tale, or even entering the later stages...and all are valid. I do love this a ton.
Thank you so much for your review. I’m really happy to read the story is doing exactly what I intended to. As for the girls, this is heavily and entirely inspired by Japanese visual novels, and I like to think it’s a love letter to them. For that reason there eventually will be routes, one for each girl, and then one True End and prologue. Glad you liked it and hope you stick around to see how things play out for everyone.
