Please Be Happy Reviews

completed all endings now im ready to ascend. goodbye, my friends

Warmed my gay heart. Very few critiques of the game, all of them nitpicks. Music and voice acting and story were all superb.

This was my first Visual Novel game I played and I liked it, all the dialogue was voiced and the artwork was nice. The atmosphere was overall going for a comfy feel in a urban fantasy setting, although I think that the general lore of the world was a bit lacking it was never the central point of the story about a girl learning to open up to other people from her arrested development. There are only two major routes with two other ending cutscenes from both routes but since I haven't played many other VNs I don't know if that's a lot for them. I really liked the music, It had a lot of pianos and strings for that aforementioned comfy feel. Lastly it has Female/Female romance on both routes, nothing vulgar, but some people don't like that stuff but I think it fits with the theme of opening up and growing up. Since I don't have experience with many VNs all I can say is that I enjoyed the story, acting, and art and I'm pretty sure that's all a VN needs.

This game is beautiful. I've played some of Studio Élan's other games (Heart of the Woods and Highway Blossoms), but this is my favorite one by a land shot. I've written some visual novels of mine and it's difficult getting a theme nailed down, writing characters who feel real, and having multiple story lines intertwine all in one package. This story has lessons and sweet moments scattered everywhere!!! My only complaint is that I started with Juliet (which went well), but Aspen's character and route were sooooOo much better for the story's theme. Perhaps she just resonated more with me as an artist, but she had very visible struggles and went well with Miho. Juliet and Miho did not seem as involved with each other, and Aspen sorta... disappears in that route. (That's a very minor complaint though, and I still recommend the game.) Thank you for making this game. I enjoyed it, and hope you guys continue to make more games like this. But please, be happy <3

I did the Aspen route of this game and wow.. This is easily one of the most well made, well thought out and well written VNs I've ever played. All 3 of the main characters are such a treat and the FULLY VOICED dialogue surprised me so much but i loved dearly. Aspens voice has me in a chokehold lol and the character herself is such an amazing and inspiring one. I loved to see her overcome her struggles and find out what really matters to her in the moment. Miho is just wow.. the first, what felt like 6 hours was before u even get into I did the Aspen route of this game and wow..

Miho is just wow.. the first, what felt like 6 hours was before u even get into a relationship with either of the two girls and simply just learning about Miho and watching her grow had some of my absolute favorite moments. Such an endearing and lovely MC, i just wanted it to work out for her and the Aspen ending had me smiling for 30 minutes for her!!! Also it needed no mention but the art is absolutely beautiful. I adore the style so much. id ramble on and on but i just needed to say this because this game was so so amazing! i cant recommend it enough if you like Visual Novels at all. or good stories!! i swear everything Studio Élan touches is amazing. I've played First Snow, Twofold and now this, i think I'm gonna have to go back and play more of the things they've made/published. I really appreciate what they do for LGBT games.

Delightful and wholesome yuri VN. Took me about 12 hours to complete one playthrough, 19 hours to see all of it. I do recommend seeing both relationship paths because the story is very different in each. The three side stories are also worth doing.

Please be happy was such a cute yuri VN. I really loved Juliet and Miho. I also found the world to be such an interesting place having modern day things but also being a tad mystical and magical. I found the presentation of this VN to be especially fun and unique <3

I love the characters so much that I just can't give this a bad review but it doesn't feel like I'm playing a game, more like reading a book there's barely any choice at all like, in 7.5hours I've had a grand total of 5 choices
