Great game that I finished on my Android device many years ago, revisiting it once more on a PC. Go get that DLC, it's worth it. Where is my Myra?

I'm happy to come back to this game. I believe the first time I played it (or watched it) was about 6 years ago? It was close to when it first released. It was on Google Play. While the drawings are not perfect, I feel like it really complemented the game. I would definitely recommend this game to everyone; although I realize not everyone would like this story or the format. I love it though. For the Add-On, I have to say that while I love the additional story added, seeing the newer art style with the older is weird. It kind of breaks the immersion for a moment there. Still loved it, though.

Great VN based in a typical American suburb that makes the characters easy to relate to as a typical suburban citizen.

A cute, short romance. The plot is a little overly convoluted at times, but for a price of "free", it's hard to complain.
