How it feels

A gentle, slice-of-life visual novel that blends tender romance with realistic relationship struggles and emotional narrative choices.

What players say

Players call it a sweet, relaxing read with beautiful art and a flower theme, but those wanting deep drama or meaningful choices will be disappointed: most routes have only a handful of choices and the stories stay very light. The game gives each love interest a different heroine, which fans like for variety.
