When I first try out the game, the design of the game GUI gives me the feeling of 80s-90s time as it takes the old television design. It is a great match with a story that took place in 1986 and brings people back to that time like you are watching a drama unfold.
The quality of the artworks and the details are really great that you don't really see this kind of details in VN. I can see the amount of effort put into each of the works itself and also was shocked to know that it is only created by one artist (from the rolling credits). I thought that some of the pictures were photos instead of artworks when I was just glancing through it.
Each characters have their own styles and you can see their own characteristics which defines themselves and breath life to them as you play through the game. It is as if they were real person who have this issue during that era and also worrying their own future as well.
The musics are great!! I like Sam's choices of the songs she listen to. They are some great songs during that time.
Although the story ends a little too quick, it is nevertheless a great game to play through and I sense some hidden messages within this game and also noticed a number of people able to catch this by reading through their comments.
Overall, this game itself was a mixture of beautiful artworks, interesting GUI to fit the age and great story. I greatly recommending this game!! Try it and I am sure you will never regret it.
P.S. If you have a past that were like the main character, you can definitely feel a lot from it. Every single moments will let you reminiscing about the past that you had with the special person that stayed in your heart no matter how long it went by.
P.S.S. I noticed that Sam (grown up) looks alot like Cecila (young). I wonder if it is because that Sam (young) looked up to Cecila (young) that Sam followed Cecila style when she grown into an adult.
P.S.S.S. I certainly does not think that the adult patch is R18 for me as it is way too mild but nevertheless they are nicely done and the subtle feelings are great too!
