The game has best discount in Summer Sale 2025 and I have bought this game. After played for almost four hours, this game deserves more positive reviews and... I like so much about character developments of Mentari and her friends. Here is my gameplay: https://youtu.be/F8nTUODNdyQ?si=NSHOnAHXKe8tqbl2

I bought this game after finding out that the developer is from Indonesia and seeing the good reviews it’s been getting. I’m always curious about games from Indonesian developers, so of course I didn’t want to miss this one. This is a decent visual novel with a positive message about mental health issues. As a pure visual novel, it’s fairly standard—there are no additional gameplay mechanics for variety. The only variation comes from its branching storylines with different endings, as you’d expect from the genre. Unfortunately, these alternate scenarios aren’t very easy to access, so it takes quite a bit of time and dedication to unlock them all. If the process were more streamlined, I think players would be more motivated to explore every possible outcome. Visually, it’s quite simple but still effective in conveying the story. I played it in Indonesian, as I always do with games from local developers, and the script is generally good, though there are a few typos here and there. The portrayal of mental health issues is extremely conservative—almost like reading from a school textbook. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as it makes the message clear and easy to understand, but it does make the narrative a little less engaging. Still, this approach might fit its target audience—likely teenagers—making it easier for them to grasp the subject matter. In that sense, the game succeeds in delivering its message. Overall, it’s a good effort, and I can see why many players have given it positive reviews. For me personally, there’s still plenty of room for improvement to make it more engaging as a game. My score: 6/10.

The Sun Shines Over Us surprised me with how emotionally engaging it is. It doesn't just tell a story, it makes you feel like you're part of Mentari’s journey. I loved how the game approached tough topics like bullying and mental health with such care. The visuals are stunning, and the characters are so well-written with their own struggles. It’s a game that not only entertains but also opens your eyes to deeper issues. I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for something more meaningful and reflective.

It's a nice visual novel type of game. It takes up a quite serious and grounded theme of mental health and past trauma related to school bullying, but it does a good job of being fun and wholesome. I like the art style especially, it's uniquely "high school", and I find the characters to be relatable; their stories are a reminiscent of adolescence years, both the troublesome and entertaining parts of it :'D

The storyline is truly captivating. There are moments that made me feel nostalgic and connected to my own school days. Each character is unique, especially Donny, with his quirky habit of mixing Japanese into his sentences. The music also stands out, often enhancing the emotional weight of the dialogues. Overall, both the story and the music are excellent. Really enjoy the story!

Awesome~ I enjoy playing this!!! The storyline and dialogues are easy to understand even though the theme is quite heavy on mental health (in my opinion). However, the more I play this game, the more I get hooked into the story! even some of the dialogues and situations are quite relatable to me. More than that! Thanks to the beautiful art style and calming music, this game makes me lose track of time while playing it. There are also so many cute interactions between the characters, especially some of them have very unique characters if I may say~ Overall from me: 10/10 !!!

So excited of the release since I waited this game for quite a while now ^^ It doesn't take long for me to feel immersed into the story. It's really relatable yet still quite a taboo topic in my society. To experience how Mentari feels and trying to encourage her throughout the story is surprisingly such a good feeling. The settings also bring me back to my highschool era, as a student we experience a lot of both good and not so good experience :) the visuals are great! it's clean and quite eye pleasing. I especially enjoy all the cut scenes. hopefully the message of this game spread loud and wide.

I find this game intriguing because it dives into the topic of mental health—a subject that resonates deeply with so many people. It follows the journey of Mentari, allowing players to shape her life by making choices that influence her personal growth, friendships, relationships, and more. Each decision has a meaningful impact on her story, making me feel fully immersed and invested as a player which motivates me to keep playing & finding out the outcome of my decisions. I especially love the artstyle and visual of the game. The game takes place in Indonesia and it beautifully captures the essence of a local high school, which in turn gives me a nostalgic feeling of my teenage days. The character dialogue also feels natural and authentic, with each character having a unique and well-defined personality. Overall great story, meaning, visual, and music! I highly recommend this game if you're looking for a wholesome and meaningful visual novel.
