“Compare to Cyanotype Daydream then this one is really really underwhelming. The story is kinda interesting at first but just went down hill from there. If you are here for story then it gonna be a big disappointment,…”
“First half of the story is interesting but second half falls real flat for me. This is one of those VNs that you do not play entirely for the story, if you catch the meaning. Story I give 3/5 and would wait for a sale…”
“The usual site for Neko steam patch. As for the game..... It is a good story but seems to be two games merged together. The first is a sci-fi story with an interesting plot to enjoy. The romance novel with various girls…”

“Great sound design, good music, solid writing and interesting story overall. Basically "Frenquency" Lite with a nice touch of romance. Lots of bonus H scenes which is pretty based too :3 Recommended. (. _.)b”

“冲着年上来的,goodgood,被踩爽了~ 可圈可点,整作偏轻科幻,开局还是比较能吸引人的,后面稳定发挥没有出彩也没拉跨 打折可入,另外H无码,这个可是高分项 神吐槽,有点意思蛤 太爽了!虽然交合画的有点丑,女主也不太会叫,但是还是很好用的!还有双飞!耶✌”
