Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 31, 2026)

Players agree this coming of age story looks and sounds wonderful, but some question its writing and length; it scores 76.9 across 402 reviews.

👍 Strengths

100 reviews praise the visuals, calling the art style one of the most beautiful they have seen in a while. 93 single out the soundtrack and music, which some say fits each scene well, and Visuals & Sound ranks 145th of 1249. 51 describe a world and mood that stirred real emotion, with some recalling nostalgia and personal reflection on growing up. Story & World ranks 716th of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short

113 reviews find the story shallow and say it goes nowhere, with some pointing to clichés and weak dialogue. 39 feel the characters are flat or insufferable, and a few say they never connected with them. 30 call the content too short, with some finishing in a few hours and seeing no reason to replay. Some reviews also say it plays more like a film than a game, with minigames that change nothing. Gameplay ranks 1378th of 1396, and Content Volume ranks 1058th of 1351.
