Great game that I finished on my Android device many years ago, revisiting it once more on a PC. Go get that DLC, it's worth it. Where is my Myra?

I'm happy to come back to this game. I believe the first time I played it (or watched it) was about 6 years ago? It was close to when it first released. It was on Google Play. While the drawings are not perfect, I feel like it really complemented the game. I would definitely recommend this game to everyone; although I realize not everyone would like this story or the format. I love it though. For the Add-On, I have to say that while I love the additional story added, seeing the newer art style with the older is weird. It kind of breaks the immersion for a moment there. Still loved it, though.

I had fun playing this VN:) The characters are nice. I wish we spent more time with our sister as I had fun hanging out with Rin. I wish we spent more time with Lukas and Lillian. Most of our time is spent with Myra how is a really cool charcter:) The music was enjoyable. the art of the characters were ok after all it's a free game so u won't get really high quality art. My favorite character art was Myra,a nd the BG was ok. Not a huge fan of using real BG for anime characters. The only thing I wish was this VN had a sequel of some mind as the VN was short and would love to read more of Sepia tears. I also liked the references sprinkled out in the VN. There were a couple I was able to recognize. I won't say want to avoid spoliers. I really enjoyed this VN. It was a short sweet VN I recommend to play.
