II waited for some time with confidence that this would be a break, because the presentation video was made perfectly, with style, but I met just a good typical meme gacha, somewhat unique in its own way, deliberately mediocre in some ways. This is true at first glance, but if you stay a little longer, you will see some pretty interesting decisions in narration and presentation (Schneider's ending was very cool). Whatever you say, these are one of the best games that came out this year for sure, there is no point in denying it.

What will be captured on black and white film of the pleasant days of yore, making the future even brighter?

— Excellent voice acting, I really liked the accents of the different characters, it gives charm to the characters, makes them truly alive, but guys, I ask you, invite to the Russian-speaking character Russian-speaking voice actor, because it’s just funny when many words with an American accent are mumbled words from the initial textbook on the Russian language (his level is not even average, about what kind of voice acting are we talking about? Yes, Lord, invite me as an assistant, I will tell you for free as a native speaker what to say and with what intonation);

— Very beautiful art and cutscenes;

— Not a bad plot, but in some places it gets really boring, especially when you see a typical girl from a rich family who is not allowed to do what she wants – this is already a cliché;

— Good approach to interface design;

— Character animations and special effects during combat are well done;

— The battle system itself is interesting, I have never seen anything like it;

— The plot contains important social themes;

— Lots of completely different characters, you never know who you'll come across;

— It has its own unique atmosphere, vibe;

— Good music that is not exactly memorable, but fits in perfectly (I caught myself feeling the autumn melancholy when you sit and listen to the rain dripping on the leaves);

— Very good potential;

— Transition through locations while moving from mission to mission, as if you were walking through a real city, place, remembering the past in the present.

What makes you want to throw old photos into the fireplace and watch them burn, letting them go forever?

— The plot contains clichés (I almost dropped him);

— Native speakers of the language spoken by the characters were not invited to voice the characters;

— Too much text;

— The gameplay gets boring pretty quickly (I played for about two hours, but I already seemed tired).

What's the result?

It’s clear that the project was done with passion, but it turned out to be too ordinary: this is the same gacha that you’ll play for a couple of days and happily forget about its existence. It’s worth a try, it’s good for a first acquaintance, it has its cool details, but if we evaluate it as a whole, then it’s a ticket to something better. I give 4 stars for the effort and attempt to voice it in Russian, for which thank you very much, you pleasantly surprised and amused me (and if you want normal voice acting, then invite me, I’m doing it in addition to reviewing) 🩵

love everyone 😊💜

One day later I add that the game has great potential, but definitely not due to the plot, you want to skip it here after the fifth time, but due to completely different unique characters and atmosphere, aesthetics. Guys, I will keep an eye on your project, so if any of the developers are tracking reviews and ratings, please don’t leak the project, it’s interesting. How to improve and what is not enough? Add more emotional stress in the plot so as not to fall asleep reading and listening to it all, make more battles and adventures in the new world, the art is also great, and don't forget about F2P gamers.

In this game, the main thing is to overcome the beginning, because it is very tiring and sleepy. I definitely want this game to have a future, it's a masterpiece at some points.

After playing for a couple of days I can definitely say that this is 5 ★, but with a very sticky start 🩵

The plot also reveals itself as you progress, first you need to endure it, so that later you will encounter stories that will touch your soul. So, if it’s difficult for someone at first, then wait a little.

A Fabulous Surprise

This game deserved all the hype and fanfare that many recent games have enjoyed, but somehow it slipped in under the radar. The sprite art and the combat are gloriously retro. Everything feels right during gameplay. It has a story that might be good if it wasn't so poorly translated into English, and that is my only gripe. Play this game.

A lot of love was put into this game. Gameplay is intuitive but allows for a fair amount of strategy, and story, music and artstyle is very good. The voice acting is simply top notch. The gacha system doesn't seem too egregious, although only time will tell how generous it is.
