The struggles of life reach everyone, but never in the same way. Our emotions, our experiences, and how we deal with our lives, depends on who we are today. Sometimes, our emotions overwhelm us, and we let the past steer our future, as we are slaves of those good moments; because we never cared about being happy, and all we really wanted was to relive a precious memory.

These voices of the past keep us chained, burying us deeper beneath the weight of what once was, making us long for someone that's no longer there, praying that we'd meet again, even if it is as strangers.

But life is, and always has been, about the connections that truly matter, not about who we used to be. Because love, and I mean, real love, can destroy any barrier, break through our shells of solitude, bridge the distance, and even defy our beliefs that the universe is conspiring against us.

It’s the pain, the longing, the heartaches that remind us we're still alive, that we're still humans. And when we feel that deeply for someone else, when the word love seems to not suffice... even the smallest, most ephemeral moments can mean the world to us.

Moments don’t define a lifetime, but the people we share them with can. So why is it that we can't let go of them? New connections mean new memories, and a chance to leave the past behind. Because in the end, all that remains are the marks we leave on others, the way we touch other people's lives.❞

Join Keiichi, Senri, Kaede, Miu, Hina, and... as they struggle to figure out where they want to take their lives in the future. This story, written by them as they live it, written in a diary, maybe to relive the moments, or maybe because he can't trust anyone...

A story composed of one male protagonist and five heroines.


Will they heal, or will they open new wounds? Will they figure out what's a real connection? Will they decide to move forward? Break the chains of the past.

There is no illness or distance that can't be defied by love itself. Maybe it's time to let go, it's time to create new memories. And maybe, just maybe... love could bloom again.

beautifl work

I will disclaim that I am a bit biased as the author is a good friend of mine, and that there's only two versions so it's hard to judge overall long-term writing, but I can give my honest thoughts on this VN as it is now. 

The writing is outstanding. I've read a lot of Western VNs; some of which have objectively bad writing but I stick through because of the tags or visuals or character design, or some combination thereof. I've also read VNs with very good writing where I'm not a huge fan of the mood or tags or whatever but stick with it because the writing is damn good. All this to say, I've seen a lot of Western VN writing, and this one is absolutely well written. Although almost all the writing is in prose, it sometimes feels almost like poetry. Not in the mechanical structure (rhyme, meter, etc.), but in the thoughts and feelings being expressed, and the way in which they are conveyed. 

The characters are in-general well written. None of them conform solidly to tropes, or feel like vehicles to move the plot along. They all have personalities that seem to be revealed naturally. I don't currently find Kei (the protagonist) to be super likable. I've talked to the author about this, and I understand why he's like this at the moment and why he's not present, but I think his character is, at the moment, somewhat of a detriment. I do really hope he becomes more likable, as we're going to be spending a lot more time with him. The other characters, the girls, I do very much like. Senri manages to both be somewhat of a comic relief, while also having her own thoughts, wants, and logic besides "haha funny thirsty bi girl". Miu is probably the second most interesting character to me. She's introduced in the early events as being a little ditsy, but in v2 she shows more of her character. It's hard to pin down who she is, but it manages to be intriguing without feeling unnatural.

The visual design is another great aspect of this VN. Again, I've read many of different levels of quality, even many using this specific engine (KK), and this one ranks very highly. Gasha spent something like a year toying around with the renderer and refining it before starting work on the VN itself, and he puts a lot of effort into the visual design. But you can see much of that from screenshots so I will not write several thousand words in their place.

All in all, this novel is in its early stages, but I really like what we have so far. I would recommend it, with the caveat that this is a VN first and adult second, so if you want something that has more emphasis on the pornographic elements I'd recommend something like Once in a Lifetime (not a diss on that game, I genuinely love it, but it's much heavier on the fan service). This also isn't for you if you hate the mere thought of lesbians existing, which apparently some folks in these comments do. But if you want a well-written slice-of-life romance story with compelling characters and beautiful visuals, I advise you to check it out.

Ngl i saw you in f95 with no post or replies so I'm gonna make a big accusation and say this is the devs alt account along with the f95 one, also biased reviews aren't allowed in f95 and won't make people really trust you're reviews if you aren't the dev that is Gahahahahaha!.

Or you could join the Discord and find the same person that commented this.

Bruh.

Omg hi alt, how could they dare call alt an alt!?

This game is definitely not male protagonist, we barely see him. I would say 70% of the game is Miu/Hina and annoying senri POV

also anit-male references? You really need to do that shit? Who do you think you are huh?

(+6)(-4)

Hello, thanks for taking your time to read the game and comment as well. It is indeed a male protagonist VN, but everyone needed proper introductions. This story is about how they interact with each other, not about collecting girls like infinity stones.

All characters play a key part in the planned developments, and I'll give them as much screen time as I see fit. Because otherwise you're just playing yet another gooner game where you just like a character because they look good, but never managed to connect with them.

The story will continue the same way v.1/v.2 has been so if you dislike it, it's a good time to stop playing.

groovy

Is this a yuri focused game? ( I get that it's a male protagonist game but the game has a strong yuri vibe) Cus I really like the game but lesbian is not my thing.

(+5)(-10)

Hey! It's not Yuri focused, but it does have girls with bi and lesbian orientations, so you'll see those things happen if you keep playing. The main focus is the male character though.

(+9)(-6)

Oh! Is there no way to avoid it? I mean I should be able to avoid it right? if I chose to only date Hina, the other girls wouldn't have any physical relationship with her right? 

(1 edit) (-5)

good question, another game for cucks? or we can have normal relationships without sharing

(+3)(-1)

I'm interested to know what your definition of "cuck" is because everyone seems to make up a definition they go with. But if it helps, I don't like that genre.

(+1)(-1)

What do you mean by "physical"? Sex? Then no, that's nowhere on my outline of the story.

(1 edit) (+2)(-4)

Everything, girls won't lust after each other, no lesbo tendencies, no lesbo predators, no sharing with other girls. Monogamous relationships, understand now?

(+3)(-2)

I dont have any sharing planned at any point in the story, but I've noticed from your previous comments on other pages that you won't like nor enjoy this VN.

Feel free to try the story anyway, but it's probably best if you just drop it now. Saying this since in your other comments you appreciated people for stopping you from wasting your time!

Either way: no NTR will happen.

I have just finished playing v1 and..I think kaede is very cute

(+2)

finished playing 0.1,very excited for the future updates.cast of characters look unique and very different from each other with an actual personality and quirks.i cant wait for more content!!! 

(+1)(-1)

Thanks for playing! Next update drops here in 4-5 days.

(+2)

Will def try it out

(+1)(-1)

Enjoy!

(+1)

Very promising start from just v1, Looking forward to more.

(2 edits) (+2)

Havent started yet... Are there multiple answer questions that CANNOT be retaken? If so, witch answers have the best or most heart warming outcome?

(+2)(-1)

Are you asking if choices matter? There aren't choices on that release yet, but when I add them, the choice will be yours. This isn't a story where you can be a terrible person anyway, so don't be too worried about choosing "wrong".

(+1)

Ah, thanks mate, i guess i could start the game then

(+1)

Hope you enjoy!

(+3)

Will this have a harem path or monogamy only?

(+3)(-1)

Not set in stone, but my inspiration doesn't come from western media. It's probably going to be routes based, and if there's harem it would be shaped as the story progresses rather than taking the story there from the get go.

(1 edit) (+1)

Good, that's honestly how I like games that have harems in them. I like when it feels "earned." Like the MC has to actually put in incredible amounts of work for it and the characters actually have realistic reactions to it.

(+1)

That's the plan. While it's my first time writing on a larger scale, my priority is not writing slop. It has to start somewhere and set causality, not just have things happen out of nowhere, everyone nude within 5 minutes.

(+4)

yo, this is beautiful!


im all for the character designs but bro, the environment and details go hard too! color pallete is easy on the eyes. soundrack is also good. not to mention the story is going in a good direction.  i am more of a 3d realistic guy but damn this got me into anime style VN now.


im sorry i couldnt support financially but i want this game to continue so i hope future people who read this will get interested!

(+1)

thank you!! I'm glad you could enjoy it that much. Don't worry, these comments, following me and downloading future versions are all the support I need. Consider joining the Discord!

(+2)

I really like where this game is going, The story got me hooked already (The girls as well). Keep it up!!!

(+1)

I appreciate it<3

Will this game be in Chinese in the future?

No plans to do any translations, sorry.

this was very fun.

(+2)

Thanks for playing!

(+4)(-1)

your game is awesome

(+2)

Omg thank youuuu

(1 edit) (+4)

Gorgeous renders!
Do you plan on adding custom animations?

(+3)

Thank you! Currently no plans to add animations, since they take a long time to master, and I don't want to add anything half-assed.

(+5)

This is a nice start, Can thank VeeBuggsy for this game showing up in my Feed, will follow for now to see how it goes after an update or two but feel I will be clicking that Patreon link sooner rather then later.
Best of luck with the project.

(+2)

Thank you! I'll do my best. Just curious, what girl did you like the most so far?

(+2)(-1)

It's hard to go past Senri for love of comments around Yuri, in terms of H scenes a Senri x any girl or the bi disasters would be amaz... anyway back on track, I enjoyed Kaede but I feel she is going to go a certain obsessive path that I have seen far too much of and there will be a good reason but it's a trait I am over seeing but I will hold my judgement on that for now, I think Senri or Hina for now for best girl so far. Miu needs more time to shine but feel she won't be too far behind and ??? girl could be an interesting read but unknown for now.

Hi :3

Finally public, wishing you the best of luck dude

(+3)

Thank you <3

(+6)

Was lucky enough to get to play a pre-release build for this game. An absolutely beautiful start to a story that is likely only going to get better with time. I would absolutely recommend anyone play this game (as long as they are 18+ Eheeheehee)

Thanks for your kind words, Vee
