What players say
Players describe a short, episodic visual novel that offers a hopeful and comforting look at transgender lives. It is praised for its wholesome, heartfelt writing, though one reviewer disliked how a decision about a spa booking led to a bad end. A unique feature noted is the developer handling both English and Japanese translations.
