What players say
Players are split on this free gay visual novel: some find the story relatable and grounded, others say it is padded with endless trivial conversations that lead nowhere and recommend skipping through most text. Fans call it solid for a free game, but detractors say it feels like reading a book with little interaction or payoff.
