What players say

Players call this a wholesome, short visual novel with lovely art and voice acting. The romance is slow burn and focused on character development. Some note the protagonist is refreshingly brave and funny. However, complaints mention bugged achievements, especially the Pyrokinetic Lovers one, and a few found the writing lacking depth.
