The visuals are breathtaking. The way everything was drawn really gave more emotion to the story. The dialogue can go on for a while, but it tells the story well. I actually became entrapped in it. I wished it could've gave more into the story of "Toma" (The main character in the story). Music is a bit simple compared to the visuals. Still quite good. Overall impression? I loved it. It was thrilling. Calming. Beautiful. and *ahem* there was yuri. :D

This is like the best VN I have ever played. While playing the game your going through a rollercoaster of emotions. For the most part its a happy game, but when the sad parts happen it hits you hard. Props to the writer of this game, it is truly amazing. 10/10

A short and sweet kinetic visual novel with thoughtful, pensive writing, a budding romance that strikes true, and a character I could relate to. The artwork here is lovely, there is an uplifting ending, and this sad story of Emmeline Burns is altogether worth the hour or two it will take to finish.

A story of a romance between two girls, sad in some parts but heartwarming in others, im sure there are many more similar IRL . Its pretty much straigh foward, so, there are no choices or multiple endings, but still, interesting story if you like this kind of adventure. Ive been looking for this kind of adventures in this past weeks, since its good sometimes to take break from action most games offer, and im always down for a good story, and this definatly provide one, I recommend this to everyone who enjoys a good story.

Excellent artwork with a solid story featuring interesting characters. Definitely takes its time, so this is not a game for the impatient.
