A realistic look at the hardships of relationships, and how we reflect on the past. The game could really use more options like window scaling, more music, faster text speed, and more freedom of choice. Thankfully, the game is short enough that any of these shortcomings can merely be glanced over. It's a free experience, and totally brings out some sad vibes when you need it. Play it if you're ever in the mood to hurt just a little.

Simple and pretty. The story is very evocative, sad, and heartfelt. The whole experience is very relatable and touching, and people who like bittersweet romances will love what they see here.

The text is a bit slow, and the music a bit repetitive. But the experience is so short, it's hard to actually worry about those details too much. Just commit to a nice, pretty experience for a little, and enjoy the narrative.

Short, sad VN...
Short, sad review...

I found this to be well-written, believable, and relatable — such that I have to wonder if this is a depiction of the writer's actual experience.
The art is cute. The text speed is slow and can't be sped up at all, but I believe that's simply the pace at which the writer wants it to be experienced. I'd consider it more of a problem were this a longer VN.
I did sometimes have trouble knowing which character is talking within the memories.

Putting that aside, it's free, and easy to recommend.

Functions well on Steam Deck (handheld. Selecting the clothing and accessories ranges from annoying to impossible without using the touch screen).

The text is just way too slow which sadly makes it unplayable for me and completely ruins the mood. The art is cute though.

Short wlw where the protagonist flashes back to times with their past partner based on the clothes she wore. Graphics are cute but the story is not very well put together for it to be as emotional as it wants to be.
