It's a slick looking game, wrapped up in pretty graphics and a flimsy nostalgia, but its heart is thoroughly modern and for that all the lesser. I expected this game to truly bring me back to the days it claims to take place in, but it failed pretty miserably at that. The writing itself is aggressively twee and precious, with the kids sometimes talk more like they're from livejournal than some video game forum. You can guess the plot and drama that will unfold pretty quickly from the outset, and nothing really surprised me.
The art is lovely, the music is okay, but the character writing is fairly disappointing, and the nostalgia glasses slide off real quick, and since I consider the latter two awful important, I cannot recommend the game. Perhaps if you're a young person who comments on a lot of youtube videos of music and other things that you never experienced you might enjoy this game, but if you're looking to have your nostalgia bone tickled, stellar writing, or complicated drama, look elsewhere.
This is thoroughly a middle-of-the-road visual novel, kept in equilibrium by its pretty packaging, but the lack of accuracy for the time period brings it down a point for me. 4/10.
