What players say
Players praise the emotional, character-driven story about a shy girl exploring her sexuality, with themes of depression, suicide, and recovery. The art is described as outdated but effective, and the game is longer and sadder than the title suggests. Some note the writing needs grammar edits and scenes are short.
