What players say

Players are split on this visual novel. Many praise the magic system, music, and themes of social inequality, but criticize the characters as unlikable or flat, especially Elise and Frederic. The endings are a common source of disappointment, with most described as abrupt and unsatisfying, while the true ending is somewhat better.
