What players say
Players praise the nostalgic 2010s anime artstyle and find the game emotionally impactful, but note its short length which covers only the first year and doesn't resolve relationships fully. Reviews mention heavy themes like grooming and abusive dynamics, as well as the option to romance a professor. Some say it feels like an intro to a larger game.
