TL;DR: Ami's coming out story is short but quite relatable. Her story is a good first attempt at creating a VN and is fairly priced. I'm looking forward to more of the author's games.

NOTE: Please keep in mind the game was updated and redone in Ren'Py. Some things mentioned in older reviews (saves don't work, display issues, lacking full screen, etc ) have been fixed along with a new character and route being added.

This is the story of Ami, a shy socially awkward girl who is a lesbian and in the closet. It's the story of Ami's coming out to her parents, her friends, and her love interest(s).
The story takes place at Goddess of Peace, an all girl's school. It's recently been decided that all seniors must join a club, and on the advice of her BFF Ria, Ami decides to join coding club. While working on creating a video game with the club president Lise, her catgirl character Starla comes to life.


PROS
The VN is short so we didn't get to know the characters as well as I'd like, but all the characters were likeable.
There are 4 yuri (female + female) romances - best friend Ria, coding club Lise, catgirl ninja Starla and catgirl farmer Eiko. I found all the routes to be adorable.
All routes have a happy ending.
The art is cute - characters expressions (mostly) change to fit what they are saying, reacting to, etc. It could have used a few more body poses though.

NEUTRAL
It appears that different artists used? There's places where characters bodies change - example: Ami went from rather busty in the scene where she's playing video games to nearly flat chested in the kissing scene with Starla.
Because the story is short, the character development is limited. However, I think it was ok for price.

CONS
I had difficulty unlocking the "Oops I made it again!" achievement - I was able to unlock it after deleting 2 files then restarting the game. Instructions here
The length of the story means the 2 catgirl routes feel somewhat rushed, like insta!love.
As with most VN's, there's not much "replay value" as the endings don't change - however, like a favorite book I do enjoy reading certain routes again.

TRADING CARDS / BADGES
Badges are 3 objects from the story and 2 paw prints.
There's 1 emote for each character, and they're cute.
The backgrounds are the characters on a solid black background. They're a bit plain but nice enough. Still, I wish the characters were on the pink paw prints or game locations, instead of being on solid black.

VALUE FOR THE MONEY
For the price (currently $3 USD), I feel it was a good VN story and I enjoyed reading it.
