Being a 'kinetic' VN, Highway Blossoms focuses on a single, non-branching storyline and has no gameplay elements. Which means the only way of interacting with the game is to click and watch the text proceed on the screen. This lack of interactivity, of player agency, quickly killed my interest in this game. I'll be staying away from this sub-genre from here on out.
Regarding the story, I felt that the writing was pretty average as a whole. There were a few emotional moments that stood out to me, but the rest of it ranged from somewhat interesting to completely inane. I wasn't particularly fond of the characters either, which is pretty disappointing considering the 6 or so hours I spent with the game. I did make it to the end, just so as to not leave the story unfinished.
