Feature scans:
- Steam Deck: score 90; verdict: Broken; summary: The game suffers from severe technical issues on Steam Deck, including frequent save corruption, black screens, crashes during skip, and poor localization. These problems make the game unstable and frustrating to play, requiring constant workarounds such as deleting saves or uninstalling patches.

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $20.00 - $30.00
  - Reasoning: The community views the game as a high-quality moege with good value for money, but notes that it rarely goes on sale and its price remains firm. This suggests the base price is considered fair within the typical visual novel range, likely between $20 and $30, as the game is worth its full price but not overpriced.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 90.0h
  - Story completion: 50.0h
  - Session length: N/A
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The evidence provides multiple explicit playtime reports. The most detailed statement gives 90 hours for the main game plus DLC and 50 hours for the main game alone, which supports gameCompletion (total completion) and storyCompletion (main story routes). Other reports of 80 hours and nearly 100 hours align with the total completion range, while the 30-hour claim likely reflects a faster playthrough. No evidence supports session length or endgame-specific metrics, so those are set to null.
