It's a few days before graduation and Ryo has to finish all the things he left undone before he graduates; the feelings for his old friend or the feelings for his junior. The dark and vague past with his sister or the unusual friend he made at the nurse's office, or even the dark horse of the school, the girl with a vicious reputation.
The game in a whole, is well done, from the story, to the artwork, and to the music played throughout the game. The minor details are nicely done, and the story in itself is touching and meaningful. I will review this wonderful game that was able to captivate me and absorbed me into its story
Story:
The game starts of with the main character; Ryo, sleeping in class was woken up by a mysterious girl. He goes to the library then to the school's nurses' office then to the classroom up to his home. Every place he goes in the initial plot of the story, he meets a girl whom he has a relationship with. Their relationships are told in the form of flashbacks and that is when the player decides which girl Ryo should go for.
Each path/arc/story is very intricate, there are parts that are very emotional, whilst some parts are comical. Each story path is finished in the same time frame, so in all the stories, there will be a part of graduation. The stories tackle themes or subjects of prostitution, a love triangle, a relationship between two persons having a large gap in their age and the subject of a broken family. There are different endings of the stories depending on the choices the player makes, there is a good and a bad ending. And yes, there is sex scenes to be found in this game. Moreover it's the story between Ryo and the girl that ultimately drives the story forward and in my personal opinion the story is very well written, the emotions are perfectly captured in the story, the climax of each path will surely hook you into its tale, making you feel what the characters are feeling and making you eager to learn what will happen next. There is a Secret Character in the game, but its you to find out who she is!
-Verdict 9/10
Artwork
The first thing you will notice when you play this game is how beautiful the artwork is, the use of light pastel colors to bring out a mood of softness and calmness really brings out the emotion in the game. The CG's are very detailed, each person you will encounter in the game will have a very long lasting effect because of how they are presented visually, The tone of the game reflects the colors of the surroundings and the girls them selves, the girls all have snow white complexion and have deep eye color and detail. The scenes are very detailed up to each teardrop and split end of a hair. The visuals of this game are very appealing and make you appreciate how much effort the artists put into this game. I can describe the visuals in one word "Stunning"
-Verdict 10/10
Music
This is my favorite part of the review, I cannot describe how the music in this game is. The music is very attuned to the scenes, matching the emotions, the rhythm and gravity of the scene. The music is pure instrumental of piano pieces by Scott Joplin, and compositions of Yoshi Tsuru. Each piece that is played in the game will definitely make you remember the feeling of that scene. The music fits perfectly into each scene, adding more feelings while reading the text. It's not just about how well played the music is, it's how the music sank into my brain, and making me appreciate the pure beauty of music through this game. All I can say about this music is it's absolutely perfect, well done, I could not even start to describe how the music was able to touch the soul along with the story and maybe when you play the game, it might also cause you to be speechless.
-Verdict 12/10
Overall
The game in it self is a very good game, the story was nice and the details only made the story nicer. I recommend you to play this game because you might pick up something important in the story, you might be able to relate to some of the situations presented to you and you might even shed a tear because of how the story made you feel. A very nice game in my opinion, this game definitely had a very big impact on me, I hope it also makes and impact on you
-Overall Verdict 9/10
