April 2025
It was a truly heartwarming and emotional experience. The dialogue, conversations, settings, and descriptions all felt incredibly authentic, capturing the complexity of life itself, both joyful and sorrowful at the same time. The characters were brimming with personality, each deeply fascinating with their own unique depth, making them feel so real and relatable. You’ll find yourself easily empathizing with both characters. You’ll love them, feel for them, cry with them, and cheer for them. It’s one of those stories that makes you stop and reflect on who you are. I thoroughly enjoyed it, not just as a straight man, but as a human being. It’s a solid 10/10 for me. And if you’re curious about the design or music, rest assured they’re top-notch, enhancing the atmosphere even further. I hope you'll enjoy it wholeheartedly too.

"Michelle..." "Sam..." Aside from this bit of writing, the rest of the game is great. Excellent music, pretty art, good plot! The two main characters just say each other's names way too much, but the rest of the dialogue is realistic and well-written.

As an Arab woman who likes women, this game is the first I've played in which I could relate to the main character in a realistic way. The game did a great job of portraying the dynamic between the controlling mother and her suffocated daughter, highlighting on the unfairness, helplessness and unnecessary chaos of it all. That kind of relationship is complex and tricky to explore yet the writers pulled it off quite well. They managed to show how, even if one side wants a healthy relationship, it won't matter if the other party isn't willing to cooperate.

I don’t play very many visual novels but I had a lovely time experiencing the sweeping romance of Michelle and Samantha within the backdrop of mid-80s Hong Kong. It feels both out of time and familiar with a gorgeous aesthetic to match it.

Great VN! Absolutely beatiful art, style, music, theming, all blended together with great storywriting and telling. There is no A in this VN, just a little spice if you add the DLC patch. And it's good spice. Interaction is limited to a few dialog choices that affect the way the story moves and ends. But what you do get is what I found to be one of the most beautiful stories in a VN. The MC's are two young lesbian ladies. I am an older straight guy, in many ways it seem not the typical audience here.. For me this is just a beautiful story about a struggle with finding your own path in life, living it your way vs the external pressure of how society and people are pushing you. Having the courage to live vs fade, while you still have the chance and time. Longing for that special love, and finally getting the courage to admit it and embrace it when it appears. It doesn't matter who you are to touch on this. It happens in the neon-setting of Hong Kong in the 1980's. No smartphones, no craziness of the social media, just people meeting each other and focusing on each other. It is a beautiful setting for the story. A story that becomes so beautiful and emotional in the blend of beautiful music, art, and the storytelling perfectly playing on all this. The endings showcase the results of the choices you make. Much like in life, you can pursue what you really want, take a chance, and see where it takes you. Be surprised at times. Or go with what everyone else wants, and find yourself longing for what could have been. There is no one right choice I guess. It all builds a perfect setting for the story the authors seem to want to tell. Just two nice and gentle people, slowly finding something they didn't know they were looking for. Exploring it as it happens. The exquisite art style, ambient music, and storytelling... Beautiful. I really enjoyed it. For the first time in a VN, I will likely come back to experience it again. Thank you.
