WHAT THE FLYING F...
People are still playing this? I feel that completing this VN was like another life ago. So much nostalgia.
Unfortunately, yumiko's route felt... similar. It does warm the feels every now and then, but as I read her route I can't help feeling I read this already somewhere. Put me to tears anyway.
For me, VN's, at it's worst, tell you a story in different angles of perspective. At best, it transports you to another world where, while aware that you are not the one acting it out, you feel what the protagonist feels.
