March 2025

During the first half of the game I was really enjoying it and then it hit the mid way point and I think it may have actually changed my life because I had to put the game down and take a walk to process my thoughts on it.

Feb. 2025

As an Arab woman who likes women, this game is the first I've played in which I could relate to the main character in a realistic way. The game did a great job of portraying the dynamic between the controlling mother and her suffocated daughter, highlighting on the unfairness, helplessness and unnecessary chaos of it all. That kind of relationship is complex and tricky to explore yet the writers pulled it off quite well. They managed to show how, even if one side wants a healthy relationship, it won't matter if the other party isn't willing to cooperate.

This game reminds me of Studio Ghibli movies and some pre internet and pre mobile phone era French art movies that i have watched. Both Michelle and Sam are lovely protagonist and in the game their personalities are well developed and well portrayed. In my gameplay they were able to live happily ever after. Music and Graphics are of Top class. At some points conversations are too long and without much action and perhaps the only issue that i saw in this game. I have tried to find any other game on steam with similar vibe but till now not successful. Also, apart from this game the developer has not made any other game and i hope that they will someday make another such game or at least continue the story of Michelle and Sam.

Sept. 2024

I don’t play very many visual novels but I had a lovely time experiencing the sweeping romance of Michelle and Samantha within the backdrop of mid-80s Hong Kong. It feels both out of time and familiar with a gorgeous aesthetic to match it.

Great VN! Absolutely beatiful art, style, music, theming, all blended together with great storywriting and telling. There is no A in this VN, just a little spice if you add the DLC patch. And it's good spice. Interaction is limited to a few dialog choices that affect the way the story moves and ends. But what you do get is what I found to be one of the most beautiful stories in a VN. The MC's are two young lesbian ladies. I am an older straight guy, in many ways it seem not the typical audience here.. For me this is just a beautiful story about a struggle with finding your own path in life, living it your way vs the external pressure of how society and people are pushing you. Having the courage to live vs fade, while you still have the chance and time. Longing for that special love, and finally getting the courage to admit it and embrace it when it appears. It doesn't matter who you are to touch on this. It happens in the neon-setting of Hong Kong in the 1980's. No smartphones, no craziness of the social media, just people meeting each other and focusing on each other. It is a beautiful setting for the story. A story that becomes so beautiful and emotional in the blend of beautiful music, art, and the storytelling perfectly playing on all this. The endings showcase the results of the choices you make. Much like in life, you can pursue what you really want, take a chance, and see where it takes you. Be surprised at times. Or go with what everyone else wants, and find yourself longing for what could have been. There is no one right choice I guess. It all builds a perfect setting for the story the authors seem to want to tell. Just two nice and gentle people, slowly finding something they didn't know they were looking for. Exploring it as it happens. The exquisite art style, ambient music, and storytelling... Beautiful. I really enjoyed it. For the first time in a VN, I will likely come back to experience it again. Thank you.
