As a visual novel where you choose your path and form relationships, this is a pretty good game. The writing is good and the characters are well rounded.

As a card game? Pretty brain dead. The card game is so easy it may as well not be there.

As a time looping game? The loop is waaay to long for me to ever try a new path.

I got this for my birthday from a friend - she hit the jackpot with this one.

Princess maker style calendar management with cute graphics and an amazing setting? Sign me up! Extremely well written, beautiful art, evocative characters, and then the twist that makes replaying (or load up an old save and diverging from there) so interesting and worthwhile. I played around obsessively for a weekend until I got all the interesting endings. Honestly, I have to admit the game made me cry multiple times, usually on the endings. Very touching, very well done.

The card game is fine. It's actually quite elegant in its simplicity, and you can really puzzle over it in the late stages of the game. It does get repetitive on multiple playthroughs. The idea of have memories as playable game cards is genius and very evocative.
