your very own highly customisable teeth-rottingly sweet love (or friendship!) story. perfect for daydreaming and escaping your sad loveless real life! ;D

THIS GAME CURED MY DEPRESSION, I NEED MORE CONTENT LIKE YESTERDAY, MY LIFE WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT OUR LIFE. In all seriousness, this game is fantastic, even for those who don't tend to like visual novels. the story is amazing, heartwarming, and absolutely investing, the characters re so easy to fall in love with, and doing a completionist run will give you many hours of gameplay, and for a free game that's pretty incredible! Currently im running on just over 60 hours of gameplay and I still haven't finshed ever possible course in the main game. 100% reccomend, unless of course you aren't ready to fall in love with a game ;P

Words really don't do this game justice. The writing is better than most AAA games could ever hope to accomplish. The choices actually matter, even little things like your favorite music genre get remembered despite being a seemingly small choice at a random point in the story. No game has made me smile like this in years. If you like visual novels, play this game. If you don't, it's free, try it anyway. This game is a masterpiece.
