Rating: ★★★★☆
For me it finds its strength in the subtleties of everyday life, gently guiding players through the protagonist's journey of self-acceptance. Rooted in realism, the narrative encourages players to immerse themselves in the environment, listening and observing keenly. With just the first chapter, it's too early to make definitive judgments, but the potential is evident, and I'm genuinely excited to follow this story. "Northern Lights" might just become one of my primary visual novel choices to engage with at the moment.
