I didn't know what to expect going into this. But what I got was a heart felt, grounded story about some (for myself at least) pertinent topics.

The characters were fleshed out enough to make the world feel lived in, and the story moments appropriately impactful. Their motivations nearly always made sense in the given situation. I just wish the story took place in College, because my willing suspension of disbelief was tested a bit due to how mature and well reasoned everyone was (with the exception of 1 or 2 characters).

I'm grateful that the game tells you your score so you can know approximately which ending you're going to get. I thankfully made all the "correct" choices to get ending 4 without having to save scum. But based on other reviews, I don't think I even want to see the other endings.

All in all, this is a very good Visual Novel, and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Edit:
I almost forgot, the character designs and animation are just lovely. The animated scenes that are sprinkled throughout punctuate story moments just right and and add an extra layer of enjoyment to the scene.

I also played the first 1/3rd of the with the sound nearly off. Don't do that. The soundtrack is also a lovely treat. And whoever did the sound design knew the perfect times to use ambient sounds, and matched the scenes with the appropriate feeling songs superbly.

Edit 2:
You get a lovely bonus story if you get all 4 endings. Thankfully the game lets you start from a specific chapter with a specific score. So just start on chapter 19 with whatever score you need and spam past all the dialogue/scenes (after you've finished ending 4 of course).

This appears to be a port of the mobile version. It lacks a few creature comforts you'd come to expect from a PC game -- SFX/Music sliders and resolution changes-- but it's a fun little puzzle platformer that is worth picking up.

It's 50 cents during the Winter sale right now. So did it provide more fun that a sticky rubber hand or a big jawbreaker? Yes it did.

This is a really great little time waster that's now crept onto my PC. I had played the mess out of this on my iPad. Glad to see it ported over to the mustard race.

This is a great game to just turn on and have fun.

Some of the puzzles are a little easy in principle. But the fun comes from solving them in an out of the box way.

The controls were a little strange to get used to, but in no way diminished the fun I had.

If this game goes on sale, absolutely consider it.
