DOWNLOAD THE R18 PATCH. Yes yes, huhu nsfw, but there are important lines of dialogue missing without it.

To this day still one of the best VNs I have ever played. It's not rich in choice, the art isn't kino, sometimes the writing is a touch stilted. But this game makes you FEEL things. My favourite route is Rin's perhaps because I identify with her quite strongly, and a bawled like a girl the first time playing through her route. Lilly's route comes dangerously close to a past relationship of mine, and it left me feeling heart-wrenched to play her neutral ending (more or less how my relationship went), to then play her good end afterwards and see what I perhaps could have had were I not in such a sorry mental state at the time.

When I first read reviews and discussions of this game, and how a dating VN "changed people's lives", I cringed, hard. I thought it was absolutely, totally, unabashedly, ridiculous. Then I played it.

Now you're cringing at my review. Now I only hope you play it as well.
