What players say
Players describe this as a very short free visual novel with two separate stories, one about a male Alex and one about a female Alex, that serve as a prologue to an upcoming sequel. Opinions are split on which story is stronger, though many find both touching and relatable, with realistic handling of heavy subjects like depression and bullying.
