What players say
Players call it a short, heartfelt visual novel about growing up emo in the late 90s and 2000s. The story and sketchbook art win praise, but the rhythm sections have persistent audio sync bugs and the sing-along microphone feature often doesn't work. Reviews recommend it warmly despite those flaws.
