I liked the idea of this visual novel. The return to a childhood home to reinterpret childhood memories as an adult is an emotionally evocative theme. Using the rooms and objects in them is a great structure for reflection (literally, in the case of this game). But the writing was dreary and overly concerned with its supposed deep insight. There was little light or humor or life here--it was just unrelentingly sad. The writers missed a chance for player-created meaning in one of the final scenes that might have allowed some player introspection as well. The objects the player chose at the end of every chapter could have been meaningful for how the protagonist tells her own story at the end, but they weren't.
