I love this game so much! It's a very touching and heart-warming story. The pixel art is also one of a kind.

This is a lovely story. Pretty well animated. The translation could be better though as there are many typos.

Lovely short visual novel game - a story between the single-parent father and their daughter. This provides a reminder that there are always struggles and challenges for any single-parents trying to raise their children. Not only the parent but the children also have their struggles and emotional stress. The English translation is alright, but its interesting if its just the translation due to the Asian culture, but the father in the game keeps calling his child "kid" instead of addressing her as their name. At least the translation was pretty decent enough to understand, the game was good. :]

the review that said this game ruins the CIA's propaganda against the Chinese made me laugh so i bought the game. Wholesome, sad, real story. The English translation can sound a bit off some times, and there's quite a bit of typos. In some special scenes the text in dialogue boxes get cut off. Besides that, I loved it.
