“Not even an hour in and Persona references and similarities are flying in. Very recommended for fans of Persona. Game is fun and the girls are cute. Make sure to grab the Adult patch if that's your kind of thing (I know…”
“Pretty fun game good H-scenes once you get the patch, it reminds me of an adult Persona”
“Looking for anime-based games? Check out our Steam curator! [18+ RPG] A normal girl, Kozue, involves an accident... Well-built turn-based battle. Various lewd situations up to you. The whole content could be on…”

“It has been a while since Kagura games has hit one out of the park. While this game isn't perfect, it is definetly a home run and then some. This is, as with pretty much all of Kagura game's lineup, an adult / H fantasy…”
“Game Length: 8-24+ Hours 5/5 Story: Typical RPG stuff but not a bad thing 4.5/5 Gameplay: Weakness / Advantages! 5/5 Art: Decent to Good 4/5 Grand Total: 9.25/10 Asakiyumemishi games has TONS of secrets and thank god…”
“Even as a non-H RPG I would probably enjoy this game. It has a combat system I find fun if easily exploitable. The clothing variety is also pretty impressive, even if I did find a favourite outfit for each character…”

“The game is an endless repetition of the very same day actually. We need to complete certain steps with a number or days or it's game over, meaning that we have next to no freedom as to how to play the game. Heavy…”
“Pros -Lots of CGs. -Deep gameplay with good combat and Persona-style time progression. Meh -Lots of missable events. -Game takes a long time to clear. Cons -Art is kind of low-quality. -Not a fan of some of the H-scene…”
“I thought it was great. It's a really strong JRPG with an in-depth system, as well as some fights that are truly challenging and take a great deal of preparation to win (spoiler hidden) . It also uses a Persona-esque…”

“A pretty fun H-JRPG revolving around Kozue a high school girl who's involved in supernatural beings. A little grindy in the beginning and but gets easier when you know which skills to spam to clear enemies. The lewd…”

“Persona but H-RPG. Recommend save editing after some point because grinding isnt fun and that's not what you're there for. Story is fun and other side content is too. Worth Base and Sale price.”

“Trigger warning, lots of rape. The game play is very similar with Persona 4, it's a turn based rpg game with daily activity management, getting close to people, getting strong by battling, or working. There is a lot of…”
“Kozue´s strange journey es sin duda un juego que le metieron muchas ganas apesar de que flaquea en algunos aspectos. Su punto mas debil es sin duda su grafica la cual es demaciado simple, repetitiba e incluso fea en…”
