May 2025
the roughness of a ruined city commanded by roombas that kill you on sight & the purity of a robot's wish to show humans the stars well after they've eradicated themselves in endless warfare... this game and it's theme are so charming i thought the contrast in writing was well thought of; mr. wasteman's monologues offer the player good insight into bits and pieces of tragic history that's led him to the current point, to be seeking refuge from warmongers in an abandoned department store, only to find another potential enemy.. but then those gloomy memories and rain-soaked scenery are nicely balanced out by some fun, banal dialogues, where you learn about yumemi's passion for space and her dear projector. after that the game picks up the pace rather quickly compared to some vn's which i can appreciate. play it and find out if her dreams get crushed or nay :fiddlercrab:

This is a good well written visual novel, unfortunately it's a bit short. The game is also a bit depressing, I won't say anything about the story as to not spoil the game. I highly recommend it

A real classic by Key, and one of the safest choices if you want a short drama VN. Feels almost perfectly paced, with no scene wasted but also no part rushed. You might cry for the girl, you might cry for humanity, but even if you don’t cry at all, this is still a meaningful, thoughtful story to experience. The central planetarium scene in particular is just beautiful, both in presentation and its thematic implications. Post-apocalyptic settings are a dime a dozen in modern fiction, but you’d be hard-pressed to find one that conveys the tragedy of "what is" vs. "what could’ve been" so well. Also, while I can’t comment on the English translation, the original Japanese writing is great: rich, evocative, colorful yet not too flowery or indulgent (except maybe for a few military terms here and there).

Why don't you come to the planetarium...? Its a wonder in itself that Key managed to immerse me in a wonderful story in a such short time. Characters are lovely, the world is.. scary relatable?.. I recommend it to any VN lover! 10\10 would get sad about robot again
