Really reminds me of OMORI, this is one of the best game stories i have read and i am glad that i got to exprience it. Cath is best girl, always remember fellas.
Just trust me, if you have any interest in story heavy games, play this one ASAP. Game looks absolutely amazing, Deck performance was okay, only one or two scenes in the game couldn't sustain 45 fps.
Right off the bat I loved this game: > trouble getting out of bed? literally me. > cramming an assignment the session before? literally me > falling in lo- > practicing musi- > lying to yourself? LITERALLY ME > forgetting important things? literally me Besides a few aspects such as the characters' relationships, success and the happiness found within the ending, this is a grounded lice of slife, with bueatiful visuals, no gameplay and, surprisingly, a void of insurmountable lumps of text.
