What players say

Players praise the gentle, relaxing atmosphere and the emotional, if simple, story about high school club life. The partial voice acting and OST are highlights, but many note the linear story with meaningless choices, the use of AI art, and a lack of polish with text errors and limited outfits. Opinion is split on whether the low price and indie student-developer context excuses these flaws.
