- Wiki: score 10; verdict: No External Data Dependency; summary: The user feedback is overwhelmingly positive, praising the game's emotional storytelling, character development, and personal connection. No complaints indicate a need for external data such as drop rates, crafting recipes, quest guides, or maps. The only minor friction mentioned is the short common route causing confusion about route entry, but this is not framed as a need for external information.
- Steam Deck: score 50; verdict: Tinkering Required; summary: The game requires a compatibility layer to launch and suffers from black screens and crashes, but a hotfix mitigates crashes to occasional. Overall, it demands tinkering and has stability concerns.

- Community Price: No data
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 45.0h
  - Story completion: 45.0h
  - Session length: N/A

  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews explicitly mention total playtime for completing the game: one estimates about 50 hours with auto mode, another says they wasted nearly 40 hours, and a third mentions needing to go through 40 hours before reaching the final chapter. These support a game completion time around 40-50 hours. Story completion likely aligns with full completion since the game requires all routes for the true ending, but no separate story-only time is given. Session length and endgame-specific hours are not directly reported, so those remain null.

The writing is criticized as incoherent and unconvincing, with plot points like the protagonist's bicycle being dismantled seen as petty and unpleasant. The Kanae route's story is also considered terrible, and the protagonist's behavior in some routes is seen as disgusting.
- Sadness (weight 0.05): The story evokes sadness through the repeated separations of the protagonists, which are emotionally difficult to endure. The tragic endings of certain routes, such as Kanae's, and the final scene's interpretation as a suicide fantasy contribute to the melancholy. The reviewer's emotional response is heightened by the characters' failure to communicate their feelings, leading to a poignant and heartbreaking experience.
- Nostalgia (weight 0.04): The game evokes strong nostalgia by depicting the shape of youth and first love, reminding players of their own imperfect childhood and student days. The music, art style, and script have a youthful feel that triggers memories of early galgame experiences. The story's themes of lost love and unfulfilled dreams resonate deeply, leaving a lasting impression over a decade.
- Affection (weight 0.03): Players express affection for several characters, particularly Ayane, who is described as brave, self-loving, and hardworking. The cuteness of characters like Yui and the lovable portrayal of the sister Nako also contribute to this positive emotion. The senpai character is seen as gentle and lovely, and the overall character appeal is a major draw.

The daily life segments and music blend well with the school setting, creating an immersive and pleasant atmosphere. The overall experience is described as a good gal game that conveys many things effectively.
- Disgust (weight 0.03): The main couple's relationship and the writing are found repulsive, with the story described as nauseating.

The Kaho route and final chapter are also criticized for portraying the heroine as a bad woman, leading to a sense of disgust.
- Emotional impact (weight 0.03): The story has a deep emotional impact due to its themes, character growth, and powerful endings.

- Confusion (weight 0.01): The route's writing causes confusion, leading the reviewer to question their own values.

- Dislike (weight 0.01): The character Hoshikana is disliked and seen as a 'bad woman' due to her repeated betrayals. The open ending is not liked, and the writer 新岛夕 is also disliked. The reviewer's negative view of a specific character contributes to this emotion.
- Moved (weight 0.01): The story is very moving, with 洸太郎's growth into a journalist being the most touching part.

The daily life segments, especially in the Yui route, are boring, and the reviewer fell asleep several times while playing. Some personal routes are also seen as boring.
- Relief (weight 0.01): Writing out the review helped the reviewer process and release pent-up feelings, providing relief. The ending hints that Hoshikage returns, making it a happy end, which is relieving. Understanding Kaho's story after the final chapter and the final chapter's resolution also contribute to this emotion.
- Discomfort (weight 0.01): The emotional and inner descriptions are too realistic to bear, causing discomfort. The ending is uncomfortable, and the Hoshikage route ending is emotionally difficult. The male lead's characterization feels forced and self-indulgent, adding to the discomfort.
