~ OVERALL RATING ~
It's a great visual novel.
The art style is quite gorgeous if you're into retro anime type art.
Music is out of this world, fits great.
The story is intriguing, with a fun bond-building loop before you get into any specific route. (excluding white day content)
For the price, it's a great experience.

8/10

A fantasic soundtrack. It is truly impressive how such a small studio could put together such a vast selection of unique, captivating and beautiful tracks. The OST has a general middle ages like vibe to it, which is pretty obvious considering the setting of the game. It's great on it's own, even better if you listen to it while playing the game.

My selection of tracks:

Calming - Adagietto, Afternoon Time, Tea Time, Dream Journey, Polite Society, The Notebook
You really could just put on your headphones, lay on a bed and drift away. Really relaxing stuff.

Upbeat - Conflict, The Man Behind the Scenes, Opening, Identic Conflict
Fast paced, loud and motivating - they are perfect for those times when you need an extra kick. Personally, I love to work while listening to these.

Intriguing - Unexpected Results, Trust Me Once More, Middle ages, A Pudding Witch and Puddigns, Ending
Now those are true masterpieces of the lot. I do not know what it is about them, but they are captivating, to say the least. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, never boring.

To finish this review, I'd like to make a small note that some tracks remind me of Umineko OST. Well, once again, considering the setting of the game the OST was used in, it's not surprising. Well, all in all, great and unique soundtrack. If you have a spare fiver lying around - buy it. If you haven't played the game - play it. It's great.
