### 1/5 — お子さま向けなの？

*2022-05-13, version 1.4.2*

ゲーム要素なし。画面切り替えで広告頻繁なのにアイテム報酬の為の広告は用意されてません。って…ただ時間かければストーリー見れるかもだけど、かかり過ぎてストーリー入って来ないから私には合わなかった。普通に本を読みましょ🥺

### 4/5 — 可愛い古事記

*2021-08-06, version 1.4.2*

広告を見ながら古事記を読むって事なんだけど、少しづつしか進行しないので待ち遠し過ぎる！
絵は可愛いけど、ゲーム中の同じ画面に対して、例えば音楽のバリエーションがもっと有れば飽きないかな。
