“Pretty chill and nice short story that resonates with those who are like the main character, a visual novel lover confused as to what he is doing with his life.”

“A F2P visual novel. - Kinetic - Very short - Actual story has reboot version on Steam. - Easy 100% achievement - Skip setting - Okay art/ visual and music - There is not much to the story, not terrible, not good or in anyway stands out to me. Overall 4/10.”
