Nothing happens so out of pace that it strains credulity such that the immersion is ruined. While as an adult though it seems dubious, when I take the time to recall how quickly relationships do move when you are a teenager, and conceding to this, I have to give the narrative its due credit in this regard. The main character’s background and circumstances do describe someone who is likely to fall into firmer relationships of friendship and romance, more quickly.

While, as is the case with VN’s, relationships move far too quickly into deeply emotion for the characters involved, it does it in a way that makes as much sense as it could. However, this is far less frequent than other VN’s and most of which happen early enough that it doesn’t break the immersion. These include panty shots and characters making Olympic leaps of logic toward the perverted, in most cases, in a way in which no reasonable person would. Secondly, it is lighter on the more typical tropes that I do not, personally, enjoy. I could go on and on about these elements but a quick youtube of the OST and a search of the images associated with this game will do a better job than I ever could. Newer games tend to overshadow older ones but so far, of the ones I have played, this is easily the most aesthetically pleasing as well as having music that pulls you into the moment while being subtle enough not to steal the show from the story. Objectively, I feel these three elements in particular make this a notably good VN Firstly, the music and visuals are fantastic. So far pretty typical for the VN’s I have played I have three elements I believe make it objectively better, which I will get into first, and then some personal preferences I will mention. You then get to pick which route you want to progress with and uncover the story and secrets behind each character around whom that route is based around. As he arrives you meet the characters that will fill/flavour the story(s) you choose to engage in and get an introduction to their basic characters. It has a fairly typical setup of a boy (you) going to an island for the summer, supposedly to help out his aunt but really to escape his life which seems to have entered a downward spiral. Reviewing this as someone fairly new to visual novels, having only played little less than half a dozen previously, I have to say I felt this Reviewing this as someone fairly new to visual novels, having only played little less than half a dozen previously, I have to say I felt this game was a treat to play.
