Reception

olive oil psyop

Despite its short length it was certainly one of the most heartfelt visual novel I've read recently, I would highly recommend reading this one for yourself, trust me the hour is well worth it!

Cute, short, simply amazing.

Love the music, love the art, love the story as well!

10/10 will play again.

Nice short and sweet. Worth playing through if needing something quick and can't decide what to play. The music and sound was good but felt a bit harsh at times. The ambiance particularly with fire and wind noises were very nice. Art didn't scale well to fullscreen as it was lower resolution, but the fonts seem to scale properly so it's a clear reading...

This was really sweet! Nailed the dramatic and even romantic tension, and the sound was well-used to that effect. Very enjoyable early pioneer of actually-good English VNs.
