Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This novel features a very intriguing narrative that swaps the reader between three different characters thus allowing you as the reader to experience multiple perspectives of the same story as it progresses.
192 of 223 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The colors are bright and cheerful and the sound quality is top notch as well.
29 of 223 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It features a beautiful art style that seems to be an amalgam of fantasy, anime and steam-punk.
23 of 223 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Also, the title has some nice options available and there are six different endings so the replayability is quite high with this V.N..

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I recommend reading the keyboard shortcuts listed in the settings (L for log, and F for skip/fast-forward mainly): they are far faster than their menu setup, and not the same keys I'm used to in some other VNs.
