Lemme start this by saying I don't normally play visual novels, and not because I don't like them. But because this was the most genuine, gut wrenching, and realistic feeling of forbidden romance that I have ever felt. I don't normally feel much emotion towards anything but when I tell you that it managed to get even ME to cry by the end of it you best believe it was something of an experience. The bait is there from the start, you can tell who the target audience is and yet it manages to make all of that completely irrelevant by the end of it all and create a story and a universe in depth enough to be worthy of its own awards. Maybe I'm playing it up a bit much but by god did they make a character that for a couple years now I didn't think I would find very appealing to a genuinely believable, kind, and caring person through just words and a couple character assets alone. I really don't know how else I could put it; this reignited my love for story-telling and visual novels all together, and yet it leaves you with a feeling that it should be your last. That if you moved on to another it would spoil the experience. I am afraid to play another one, worried that I could somehow betray the very story I was provided with such grace. I would 100% recommend this game to anyone 18+. It is both a beautiful and well put together experience I can't imagine a lot of people would forget.
