A terrific way to start the year. A wonderful experience overall. I haven’t played many visual novels, but the ones I’ve played weren’t fully animated and voiced like this one is. I’m pretty sure that this isn’t common at all in the genre, and I believe it’s worth trying out for that reason alone. In terms of its presentation, it’s more an interactive animated show rather than a traditional visual novel.

I found the story and characters to be wonderfully written. It really nails the very online sense of humor, but it’s never snarky nor mean. It’s a very heartfelt story, and even though nostalgia, growing up and the end of the world are key themes it’s never a bummer nor does it lean on despair.
In terms of its gameplay, the few rhythm sections are solid and fun to play through, and the decision making feels consequential enough to be consistently engaging.

The soundtrack is on another level altogether. Banger after banger of original soft indie rock songs accompanied by some beautiful background music. The album is already on my Spotify rotation.

I don’t really have much to say about it, it’s a short, very wholesome, very unique, experience that I’m happy to have played through.
