Fair warning. This game can be beaten in under an hour, if not thirty minutes. I only have more playtime on it because I wanted the card drops.

I can honestly see no reason to want to play this game when there are much better visual novels on Steam and on the internet in general. This game is painfully short, which isn't a good thing when the writing isn't particularly noteworthy in any way.

There are actually choices and multiple endings in this game, to which I can give it some points. However, since everything is so bunched up together due to the game's length, there's no time to feel any impact to your decisions besides "oh hey, I got a good ending," or "oh hey, I screwed up."

The characters are incredibly one-note, to the point where I can't even call them stereotypes because that would imply they have some substance. Any of the "romantic" scenes are downright cringe-worthy (Seriously, there's kissing onomatopoeia for multiple text boxes in a row. Nothing but kissing onomatopoeia.), and it really doesn't even make sense for the protagonist to care about the lead girl by the end of the game, especially since he's an unlikable jerk to her for no real reason at all for the entire game. He has a sudden change of heart for basically no conceivable reason, and I honestly don't think I missed some vital part of the story or anything. It just happened.

The art and music are both passable, but forgettable. Nothing to particularly note here. I can't really complain, but I also can't really compliment anything.

On the subject of the art, you can see all the CGs in the game the first time you boot it up, without even playing the game. Maybe that's why there's an achievement for actually bothering to hit "new game."

That's not to say this game is all bad though. As I said, the art is genuinely passable, and I didn't dislike it. The choices you make in this game are on a timer, which I think is an interesting mechanic, and not choosing a choice in the time limit actually counts as its own choice. That's a legitimately neat feature. But one neat feature isn't enough to float this game, especially in the short time you have to experience it. If this game was longer, and the protagonist was actually a decent person, I'd totally say that this could be a good game.

As it stands, I can't recommend it.
