“Personally, I really love and enjoy visual novel games, so I absolutely adore this game. I love all the unique characters/love option routes, the art, and the voiceovers. Literally nothing bad to say about this game, if…”
“Amazing game. I do think the character customization could be a bit better, granted she's already great looking. The voice acting is great, though I do wish more of it was voice acted. The alchemy is pretty fun, but…”

“Fairly short runtime for its price, so maybe get on sale. I would say the average playthrough takes maybe 12 Hours tops unless you use guides, then maybe 8~9 (probably even less if you don't sit and listen to all the…”

“A relatively short game (<10hrs) that's exactly what it says on the tin. Nice voice acting, enjoyable characters, and a cute TWEWY-esque art style. Won't blow your mind or anything with its fairly standard fantasy…”

This game feels unfinished. Chapters 1-5 were relatively long, but Chapters 6-7 passed by in the blink of an eye. The ending…”
