What players say

Players praise the emotional yuri romance and beautiful map art, noting it is a narrative-heavy visual novel with no combat that spans about six hours across multiple endings. Some mention that replaying to see all endings requires retreading long sections. A minority report blank dialogue boxes and feel the game was abandoned after release.
