How it feels
A quiet, reflective visual novel that unfolds a brief tale of memory, blending warmth with a soft touch of regret.

What players say
Players are split on this visual novel. Most praise the authentic depiction of youth and the specific nostalgia of Chengdu's Shishi middle school, but many criticize the male lead's behavior and the story as melodramatic and cliché. The art is considered average, and the sad ending is seen as realistic by some and frustrating by others.
