Nice little modern-fantasy narrative game about a girl dealing with a variety of tween crises (first crush, her former best friend turning on her, grandmother's death, parents separated, etc.) with the aid of a magical flower. Has a few tropes you might recognize from other tearjerker games of this sort, but still a charming, touching, and short play.
A bit surprised to see the preponderance of Western names in the credits, given the very Japanese art direction and setting (apparently, the studio was founded by Western expats in Tokyo). Also odd to see the game give you a bunch of obviously "good" and "evil" choices throughout the story (i.e. should I choose to "heal" the girl who's been mean to me, or "poison her heart?" Hm, I wonder), since the latter don't really square with the narrative's overall tone or how the protagonist is written outside those moments; still, I'll have to look up how choosing to play as a psychopath impacts the ending.
