Played through this to 100% (as it's leaving Xbox Gamepass on the 31st) and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It's a simple time-loop game with a cute but roughly cohesive charm that makes playing fun if you're aiming to get from start to finish. However once you begin to embark on side quests and friendship missions, things start to slow down quite a bit, taking a game that felt like a blast three hours in and making it into an 8 hour cycle of pressing x over and over.

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing another game in this universe with a little more mechanical variance behind it, but if you're content with a short visual novel-like experience to enjoy for a while it's a perfectly acceptable candidate for the position.
