How it feels

A reflective, character-driven visual novel about growing up and saying goodbye, told through animated portraits and a bittersweet story.

What players say

Players say the story focuses on an idol group from each member's viewpoint, with minigames and Live2D art. The yuri content is more subtext than overt romance, and the English translation has quirks. Some find the male-coded protagonist text off-putting, and a few note that the art style may deter players.
