<reposted from my steam review>
A poor and basic 'visual novel' in the loosest sense of the word, while there is an engaging concept behind the gameplay and visual design, it makes the experience last much longer than needed, especially if you read faster than 1 word a second, typing is enjoyable for the first two messages, after that its simply a chore because playing the waiting game to read a text based story is not fun. Unironically I believe its a better experience to its sequels, namely Emily is Away <3 (the slop of a continuation I played prior to this original) simply because it wastes less of your time and money.
If you want to read a good free visual novel with an actually enjoyable story just play the first chapter of Higurashi, please don't waste your time with this 'game' unless you want an easy 100% to add to your perfected games list.
