How it feels

A charming, story-driven visual novel where you explore a fairy-tale world with dual protagonists, balancing lighthearted daily adventures with tense bullet-hell combat against monsters.

What players say

Players praise the story and art but warn about a slow start, and many find the combat system unremarkable though skippable. A controversy about the developer's response to a mistake led some to recommend the game but not the team.
