Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
And while it's true that often a game with lots of endings is usually lengthier and more developed, with many characters and so on, it's never automatic the connection between many endings and a beautiful game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Plus, here we have outstanding graphics in my view, and an awesome soundtrack which can be bought as a 1€/$ DLC - even if the game's short (two-three hours more or less if you wanna read through it all), you'll hear almost 15 different songs and the DLC also contains non-published tracks and mixes :)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Always The Same Blue Sky, too, features a really well-made personal user interface, for what concerns dialogues and choices, but also the text position in the bottom part of the screen - it's clear from the first sight that much work has been put into this novel (which had been approved firstly on Steam before being published) and you can see this from the menus, the graphics and every small aspect that many other visual novel use to standardize (like the auto, skip, pause etc. buttons that look all the same in dozens of games).

and with a short playtime, but with a nice replayability value and many positive aspects - outstanding, too!
