Thank you for such a heartfelt game.

Great game

Very heartwarming game it’s so fun the music is precious

Perfection

I’ve had this game saved on my phone for a long time, finally decided to play it recently & I am so sad it’s not longer D,: this game is absolutely amazing, although I wish it were longer it’s honestly perfect. If you like manga or anime & are familiar with how strange things can be, this game is one that’ll be interesting to you. It’s an incredibly heartwarming game ! & if you’ve played other games, you’ll see the familiar granny who sells candy & the old man with his oden cart <3 :D

Too cheap….

For the amount of gameplay you get alone 3.99 for VIP (and you can get by with just ads) it’s worth more than that in my opinion. Also the story is moving. All the characters are relatable. They manage to capture the theme of living life without regrets, becoming the person you want to be, and importance friendships. It also immerses you in showa era nostalgia. There are some moments you have to suspend your disbelief but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyability. The plot is like a combination of Kimi no na wa and The miracles of the Namiya General store.
