Playing through the pastel art style and seeing the bishounen love story unfold with all its trials really pulled me in. The game's tone is perfectly balanced—it's sweet but still manages to feel dramatic when it needs to. I've already started a second playthrough to see how the choices change thing

I was nervous about the bishonen love story being too predictable, but the branching paths kept me genuinely engaged. The save system also makes it easy to explore different outcomes without replaying everything from scratch.

The pastel art style is exactly what I wanted, and the writing captures the awkwardness of young love perfectly. After playing for a few hours, the dialogue feels surprisingly natural for a Dreamcast game, with choices that actually seem to matter.
