This was a beautiful story.
With a fully voiced narration, and with a plot not easily seen through.

The game is a sort of Choose Your Own Adventure, where you acquire certain Key Words that can alter the flow of the story, leading to new outcomes. As you slowly progress to the golden ending.
There are dark chapters, and ominous moments... kinda like Choose Your Own Adventure, come to think of it. But overall, it's a wholesome story.

This is not a difficult game, not by any stretch. It's not that kind of game.
This is more of an interactive story, like a book you curl up and enjoy.

The music is excellent (the soundtrack is worth a buy, FYI, in my opinion), the dialogue is sweet, the character designs are top notch (the art book is also a good buy, in my opinion. But do not look at the artbook until you've fully completed the game!)
Be sure to avoid spoilers.

By the end of the game, you will be amazed, and will likely have the warm fuzzy feeling from enjoying a really good book.
That said, like a lot of these kinds of games, you're only going to get one excellent full playthrough, but it'll be amazing.

Is it worth it?
$20 is a bit steep for my taste (I got it during a sale), but that's for you to decide.
But, regardless: Yes, I approve of this game.
