    Simple yet powerful short story visual novel. There's an impressive amount of subtle branching here, and the design of the game and story flow, without spoiling anything, is really quite neat and not something I've seen before. Once you realize the unique way your choices impact future scenes, it feels pretty empowering to shape the story as you like. It's a moving storyline, has some distinct tonal variation…

    Low-budget visual novel. Well, more of a short story. As is common with this genre, graphics and music serve to back up the story, but that's not what the work is spent on. The technolopgy is established an unexciting: you read forward until you come to choice, rinse & repeat. So the appeal of this VN stands and falls with the writing. And I didn't connect well to that. Part of that is because I want a story to show…
