Muy buena historia

Me encantó este juego, el arte, la música, la historia y los personajes. Es un juego que te sorprende con la narrativa, te deja sin aliento y he llorado más veces de las que me gustaría admitir.

Me encantó este juego, el arte, la música, la historia y los personajes. Es un juego que te sorprende con la narrativa, te deja sin aliento y he llorado más veces de las que me gustaría admitir. Es cierto que el juego de cartas no es muy complicado y depende de que tengas una buen mazo. El bucle también es muy largo como para ser rejugado varias veces, yo creo que a partir del segundo run no apetece hacer más pero aún así el primer run es tan impactante y merece tanto la pena que yo lo jugaría aunque sea solo por ello.

Well damn

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 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.

Something doesn't work for me

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 …

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