คือคิดว่าดีทุกรูท
แต่ส่วนตัวชอบรูทเมกุรุ ตั้งแต่ที่เห็นแวบแรกก็รู้สึกเหมือนถูกดึงดูดโดยสายใยบางอย่าง
ไม่แน่ มันอาจจะเป็นพรหมลิขิต ฮาฮ่าๆ

รูทเมกุรุ ช่วงต้นมีปัญหาเรื่องความไม่เข้าใจกันและกัน ทำให้จังหวะไม่ซิงค์กัน
แต่หลังจากที่เริ่มซิงค์แล้วเจ้าตัวก็แสดงความคลั่งรักออกมา พอเห็นแล้วก็คิดว่าเมกุรุน่ารักสุดๆ

ชุดหมาป่าคือของดี น่ารักมาก แล้วใน after ในชุดนี้ก็สุดยอด
อะ! เกือบลืมบอกว่าถ้าเลือกใส่แว่นก็ดีเหมือนกันนะ

as a person who has lots of sex all the time, i can say that this game is 100% accurate to having sex with sexy women. like i do. everyday. this game did not make me horny however. i am not gay. i just have too much sex with real women to spend more than 15 minutes in this game. on the other hand i would recommend this game to people who do not have sex (unlike me because i have lots of sex with women a lot) as there is a naked woman in it and she is naked. she kinda looks like one of my many girlfriends who i have sex with a lot. i have lots of sex. i also an very handsome and women ALWAYS want to have sex with me because i am very muscular and handsome and very good at video games. all my girlfriends say im very good at sex and playing video games and being handsome. one of my girlfriends asked me to have sex with her but i told her i was playing a sex game instead so she started crying and became a lesbian and killed herself because i did not have sex with her. i have sex with women. not men. i am not gay. i am very cool and handsome so girls always have sex with me because i am very cool and sexy. my penis is very big. all my girlfriends like my penis because it is very big and i am very good at sex with my women. every woman ive had sex with is very sexy and so am i. i have lots of sex. i am also very handsome and sexy and i have lots of sex.

A really solid VN from Yuzusoft.
Do yourself a favor, do Nene route last if you're planning to read all the route.
Touko route is quite a surprise if compare the other heroine, exclude Nene (Nene route definitely take 1st place for me, after that it's a draw for Meguru and Touko)

A Yuzusoft Visual Novel which was indeed surprisingly good!

Nene's route almost reached nakige level and made my heart skip a few beats ngl.
It is worth reading this VN for her route alone. The other heroine routes are well written too.

Would argue that this is the best VN from Yuzusoft till today, super unusual dramatic plot twists for an ordinary moege but not in a bad way.

Ayachi Nene is a perfect being but if you play her route first you likely won't want to play the other routes afterwards.
Also there's plenty of h-scenes that are also way longer than they need to be but you can skip them and come back to them later in the extras menu.

got chewed out for playing this on my laptop in a grad electrical engineering class... retorting with "this is interesting, you aren't" was the wrong choice on my part... 8/10 would get kicked outta lectures again...

This is the one that got me back into VNs. This is probably also a great intro to the longer, more standard type of VNs that aren't super serious about themselves. If you like this, there's plenty of others you'd enjoy.

I've been reading VNs since 2009 when Katawa Shoujo was new (along with Ever17 being the talk of the small subset of the internet that even knew what these were at the time).

While this may be one of the more common High School Shenanigan Visual Novels, the main hook that separates this one from the rest is either borderline hilarious at first (and doesn't get overused surprisingly) or a "Well that happened, what other weirdness are we getting here?" moment, and follows up with introducing the rest of the cast where you can pick your favorites and hope you get 1 of the 4+1 routes.

Side note: This is one of the few where the 18+ patch is practically mandatory, unless you're just REALLY not into that, and you don't even have to go out of your way to get it! (Okay it's not exactly mandatory, but it also kinda doesn't make sense to read it without it).

Widely considered to be one of Yuzusoft's best works. All of the heroines are cute and likable, and the music is really memorable. There's not much of a story, but the story does what it's supposed to do in a moege: give the spotlight to the characters and their interactions with the MC.

This is also a pretty good VN to dive into if you're learning Japanese, thanks to its dual-language display option, Textractor compatibility and easy vocab / grammar.

The best VN I've played. Ever since the common route I was thinking "There's a chance this might take my #1 spot for my favorite visual novel" AND BOY IT DID. Every route actually had an interesting story that somehow connected to the actual main plot, the girls were all cute in their own way. This VN had me laughing, smiling, a bit of pain, but overall nothing but joy. Every route was great but Meguru #1.

I picked this up on summer sale, because it has been a while since the last time i read one, and its the only Yuzusoft translated title that i havent read yet, this would also be my very first review on Steam.

This VN is fantastic, in fact i think this is the best Yuzusoft title that ive read so far,and to be honest, theres not much to really dislike in this visual novel.

Sabbat of the Witch takes its time with its storytelling, which makes it more lengthy than i expected it would be, and i think its great, the characters are more fleshed out and their developments aren't rushed out, thus making the relationship progression between MC and the heroines really enjoyable.

All of the heroine routes are well written, each of them has their own unique problem with their own emotional twist/drama in it which makes the story more enthralling than it already is. Every emotional moment lands very well, there is not really anything to dislike about the story for me.

The heroines lineup is also very good, each of them have their own unique personalities and characteristics (as well as problems) and honestly i found all of the heroines very like-able and interesting, they also balances each other when they are together.

For the dialogues, i think its really well written, while there are some goofy dialogues here and there ( especially with the teacher LOL ) it doesnt really ruin the experience for me .

The artworks are beatiful , the voice actors fits the characters perfectly, and the soundtracks are great!, would easily recommend this to anyone looking to read a lighthearted romantic moe vn with some emotional twists to it, 9/10.

I have never written a review before but I had to for this. It was great, the best VN I've played. I thought of the game the entire time I was at work just waiting to get home to finish the route I was on. I installed the H-Patch but I saw myself clicking through it quicker than normal because I wanted to get back into the story.

Each character has there own personalities that I feel are shaped well and have backstory. I was drawn into each one and didn't find any route terrible. I did the bonus for each but I wish that More characters had "future" stories than just Touko. I just needed more.

I was expecting and it was way more than anticipated and I really like it. Well written characters, a protagonist you can cheer for, and a school life you can probably relate to or reminisce about. This is what In my opinion makes this game quite good. From start to end the story is pretty mildly okay but even greater and packed with emotion on character routes.

This is the best VN, I have ever played. To say, just play other route, save the Nene route for last or else play only Nene route!!! Normally, Many VN always use the high school theme as a background which I feel that it force on a relationship between character. For conservative mind like me, The main protagonist should experience tough situations together or stand a test of time in there relationship. To be more specificly about Nene route, It really romantic because our couple was satisfy the both condition I said above.

I love Sabbat of the Witch so much more than Senren * Banka and Riddle Joker (not saying that the other 2 are bad, I still love them) because this VN made me teary 4 times just for finishing Nene's Route. This is the best VN I've ever read. The BGMs fits very well, it's masterpiece.
I can feel the sadness where Nene has to fulfill the contract she made with the "Alp" to redo her life before her parents divorce that can make her and the MC Shuuji have to be separated because she will be traveled back to the time her parents haven't divorced,and I can feel the happinessthat finally they can meet each other again after time travel,in this VN.
This is the parts that made me teary 4 times:
1. Chapter 6-7 in Nene's Route where Shuuji can't force himself apart anymore.
2. Chapter 7-4 in Nene's Route where they've to be separated.
3. Chapter 1-2 in Nene's Restart Route where they finally got to meet each other again.
4. Chapter 3-7 in Nene's Restart Route where everybody thanking Nene.

I don't know about the other routes yet. After writing this review, I'll finish all routes.
Sorry if my English is bad, this is my first time writing review like this.

Just play Nene's route and you'll be satisfied. I have no idea what are the other routes about, since I started with Nene's, but if you don't have time to try all of them, just stick with Nene. It'll give you everything you can experience in the VN. Cute lovey-dovey romance, but also sadness. Lot of it. Feelings of anxiety and loneliness are included. And, must not forget, some great H-scenes, if you have the patch, that is.

Like I said, if you just want to try this VN once and don't know who to go for, go for Nene. I feel like her route is the most unusual one (I mean I didn't play other routes, but who cares). If you are a completionist, though, and want to read this VN whole, I don't reccomend doing Nene's route first. You'll most likely get into a state of not wanting to bother with the other routes, since Nene's the best. Everyone will told you this. So yeah, if you wanna buy this VN, buy it on a sale. And if you wanna play only once and don't know who to choose, choose Nene. Her route will lead you through moments of joy and happiness, and also through sadness, anxiety and loneliness. I mean it, I did sob a bit during the climax of her route. And, also, don't forget to restart once you finish. Never know what could happen.

Now really, check this VN out. You won't be dissapointed.

Has good quantity writing, though the quality isn't always the best. The base story is pretty boring average high school everyday life with a tiny twist that isn't very prevalent when it comes down to what's happening. If it wasn't for the 50 hours of story in the different routes I probably wouldn't recommend.

Good game. The girls are very cute and have fun and quirky personalities. Not a masterpiece of writing like Clannad or whatever, but definitely a fun read nonetheless.

Every route is decent to an extent but I have a massive bias for Nene
jokes aside, another good VN if you want to start playing VNs as a beginner
I'm aware that Wakana was supposed to be the "bonus" heroine, but the route feels kinda disappointing

Alright, first technical matters. I played it on Linux using Steam's compatibility tools and I experienced barely any issues, so that's already awesome.
The sprites feel really lively and I can tell a lot of effort was put into changing expressions even in the middle of the line. In increases the immersion greatly.
The voice acting was very good when it comes to conveying feelings and characters' personalities, but I'm saying that as a non-Japanese speaker, so I could only read emotions, really. They always matched the lines though, so I guess the translation is really good, too. I couldn't really see any weird dialog that wouldn't make any sense (think some routs of 'If my heart had wings'), and definitely quite a lot of effort was put into making sure that the humor makes sense. Very nice.
Music and sound - well done and solid work :).
UI is also well built and I have never found myself trying to do something and being lost as to how to achieve it.
Now, onto the routes!
The common route is nicely written and there are no ugly style changes when switching to character routes. There are no particularly weak routes. I have my personal order of routes in which I believe they should be read, and while they are not connected story-wise (so it doesn't really matter for the gameplay), I'd like to make a recommendation, and that is from the least impactful to he most impactful route.

1. Start with Meguru. It's an OK route, but I find it too sweat. No problems, all is awesome. Just a bit too much sugar, IMO.
2. Tsumugi. It starts well, but then goes a bit too much into pure love story, only to recover towards the end again.
3. Wakana. It's a 'bonus route', apparently. But the pacing is good, it's enjoyable, and sometimes super cringy, but overall quite realistic, because of the limited fantasy aspect to it and Wakana's down-to-earthness.
4. Touko. It's hilarious. Touko is super funny and the situations they get into and their conversations are just awesome at times. Parts of this route are also somewhat reminiscent of early works or Key, like Kanon: everything is awesome, then difficulties hit, and then a supernatural way to solve them is found. But this is, of course, a much more defined magic system.
5. By some margin the most touching one, and IMO the best. A bit drawn out, trimming it by 10-20% would probably improve the pacing, but otherwise it's really great. Do this one as the last one.

Generally, a great VN :).

Nene's route is currently the best route out of the VNs I've played till now and made me feel a whole rollercoaster of emotions with high crests and deep troughs (I can't guarantee that it'll be the same for you tho). The other routes aren't too bad either but they didn't make me feel as attached as the Nene route. I highly recommend buying this even just for trying out the main route.

Where do I begin...

Sabbat of The Witch was the most wholesome, sweet, innocent VN I've ever read so far. (I've read whole Nekoparas, Steins; Gate, Chaos Child, Fruit of Grisaia and this so far) To summarize without any spoilers, this was very fresh welcome for me who enjoy deep and hardcore "literature". Romance was not rushed and forced, and it felt mutual and wholesome. For me personally, I enjoyed Nene route the most, however it doesn't mean other routes were relatively bad. Especially Touka's route was very unexpectedly cute and heartwarming for me.

But if there's one thing I was bit disappointed with, it was the Extra mode. I was expecting marriage lives with heroines, but they were extensions of what happened after each routes. I know I'm wanting a lot, but it could be my life-changing VN if they were included.

TL;DL: Very heartwarming, wholesome, and well-written VN. Must-buy on discount. Also, Nene best

HoneydewGlorious

Enjoyable to read. Funny, heartwarming writing, nice music, good character designs, and Touko's height is such that her boobs align with the text box while you're reading. I'm not quite done my first read through the Nene route, but I'm enjoying myself remarkably well.
Also the customisation on the escape key is next level eroge tech.

I'd like to think this is the most enjoyable Yuzusoft visual novel I've read.

tldr - Sabbat of the Witch is a great moe visual novel, as you'd expect from any Yuzusoft title. But it stands out due to its great cast of characters and storytelling. Every heroine has their own interesting drama that provides us with a good dose of sugar and tears. Highly recommended.

Having played the other titles by Yuzusoft on steam, I went into this expecting myself to enjoy simple heartwarming and moe romantic stories. Of course, it does exactly that but also surprisingly much more due to each individual route's amazing story and dips of emotional drama allowing me to heavily immerse into each heroine. The cast is amazing in this game and they all play very well together creating an atmosphere of good interpersonal relationships without really any kind of forced or useless drama to bring them together.

There were times I found myself hard cringing at certain scenes but most of the time it turned out to be for hilarious effect adding to the overall comedy of the story. Our protagonist goes through a good amount of development from beginning to end and the romance with the heroines doesn't feel rushed or forced.

There's a lot to love about Sabbat of the Witch from its highly addictive opening song and beautiful artwork to its adorable characters and emotional storytelling. If you're looking to find romantic stories that'll be sure to tug onto your emotions with some twists, Sabbat of the Witch does this amazingly well and I would highly recommend this even at retail value.

I bought this during the sale but amazing game. I got the forever alone route (ended up with no one lol) but was very satisfied with the game and planning to go back and try out the other routes after writing this review. Plenty of waifus I was interested in, some funny moments that make me laugh, great music, and nice art style. The main character is a bit odd at first but is likeable. :)

First of all, it’s been a while since I’ve laughed so hard while reading a VN.

Why?

It’s a really well written story, with good twists on the serious parts; but where it shines it’s in its comedic parts. Touko’s antics, Meguru’s clueless innocence, Wakana’s sass, Tsumugi’s tribulations (the “please, Stand by” gag, dammit), and Nene’s reactions. Plus Shuuji, who is a fun dude in his dealings with the girls of the Occult Club.
All supported by a discrete, but well though semi-soft magic system for the more arcane parts of the plot. Gold. I dare say, they do make good use of all the characters and plot elements, and the “true route” of sorts is very satisfying and well orchestrated.

To that end, I’d like to make a suggestion to all who play this VN as to the best order for maximum enjoyment in proper increments… somehow, that sounded so dirty, but then again, that’s the kind of story you are in for, with or without the +18 patch (but this here is one case where I would recommend getting it, the H content is also rather fun and often hilarious because of the dialogues). But I digress.

My recommended order would be:

Meguru > Wakana > Tsumugi > Touko > Nene

Basically, from less involved in the plot, to the one most deeply related to it. Also, Nene’s route is, IMO, the best of all, with Touko coming on a close second. Plus, those two are the funniest of the gang, in the same order (Nene 1st place, Touko 2nd).

Had a blast with this story.

And to the friend who recommended this jewel: thanks, dude. I’m checking the rest of the Yuzusoft franchise next.

actually surprisingly good, dont pass it just because its an eroge, its actually has a very nice story if you give it a chance.

If you are into comedy and vanilla love story then this games may make your laugh, cry and smiling while staring at the screen which will make somewhere feel you are too absorbed into the game. So be cautios of your surrounding.

the story are really good, in which the plot are connected with each other. The background music the accompanied the games also good.

but the most good things about this games is their well placed comedy. You will smile and laugh a lot during playing the games.

Last but not least, I love you, Nene! Please stay with me forever ~

p/s: have play this games before as cracked games which I download somewhere so whenever this games appear on steam, I bought it just for sake of supporting developer.. Please keep releasing all the visual novel~ I will buy all of them ~ hahaha

At first glance, Sabbat of the Witch’s game description here on Steam doesn’t make this visual novel sound all that interesting. If you are like me, it looks like a run of the mill eroge visual novel, with the you stumbling in on something you shouldn't have seen and the story going from there. I can say with confidence that while this does happen, this visual novel is much more than that and I would encourage you to give it a chance.

I was very skeptical going into this visual novel, however very quickly I realized I definitely underestimated the amount of content and overall story this novel has. In terms of the individual routes and story, it is safe to say that Sabbat of the Witch deliveries here. This is definitely not your run of the mill visual novel. Each route/heroine is interesting and will catch your attention, with each exploring different themes in terms of love and emotions in general.
Exploring emotion and ideas such as who deserves happiness, fitting in with others and accepting who you are as a person. While these sound very run of the mill, quite frankly, it explores these concepts very well, and it is so much better than it has to be.

For example, Nene's route is very well done. It's nothing new, but it is executed extremely well. No spoilers, but the emotional climb, character development and build up to the climax and aftermath are extremely moving and can get a tear out of you. (Nene Best Girl!) This is just one example, all of this applies to the other routes and heroines too.

If anything, you should just buy this to play Nene’s route. Her route is that good

All of this basically results in a very sweet, wholesome, and in many cases innocent visual novel.
Each of the heroines appears as how the game description describes them, but you can tell that a lot of personal hand effort went into each of them. Each of the heroines' personalities very charming and are crafted extremely well, you will come to like everyone involved. Combined with the excellent voice acting and sprite animation and art, the enduring story and world building really does come alive and connects with you.

All of this, plus excellent catchy music results in Sabbat of the Witch getting a solid recommendation from me. If you are looking for a more ‘straightforward’ VN to read first, I would suggest Making Lovers or something similar. With that being said, I have heard a lot of good things from Yuzusoft (The Makers of this VN) and I am very glad that this was my first read from them. Sabbat of the Witch should definitely be on your Must Read List.

I bought the game during big discount of 50% and I'm so mad I didn't buy it at full price, the game deserve that much.
13 hours for my first route, and it's Ayachi Nene (because of her VA mainly at first). For you people reading this review, I want to say that I played only Riddle Joker, Senren Banka and Dracu-riot all the way back then from Yuzusoft, hell I don't even know dracu-riot is from yuzusoft.

The game's BGM is extremely good, flow great with story, comedy timing is very natural, I find myself often giggling at the antics, all characters are lovely even the male supporting character and most importantly, the main heroine route is insanely well crafted to the point that I DARE say that Ayachi Nene's route is probably the proudest heroine route created by Yuzusoft, the route is just that great.

I cried, I laughed, my heart hurst from all the wave of emotions, Nene's route made me not sleep for 2 days cause I keep crying reminiscing some of the conversations and scenes, maybe I'm just weak to that type of emotion, or maybe I just long for love, I'm not sure.

tl:dr game's insanely well crafted, full price is worth it, characters are all loveable and Ayachi Nene is the best heroine I've ever loved in my life playing light novel, can't believe I didn't find this game earlier... Ah don't forget to press "Restart", you can replay the story in a "mostly" different conversation, cause, you uh... technically saw them before. Anyway, it's not a spoiler so feel free to buy and play the game !! Please support Yuzusoft so they keep sending their game overseas !! We missed 2019 game about cafe and grim reaper, and I'm very curious but I'm not fluent in japanese to understand the game.

I did enjoy the story and like the characters in this visual novel. I have played other Yuzusoft games from Senren Banka and Riddle Joker which all including this vn Sabbat of the Witch having similar theme which involves super natural abilities. This vn is older than the other 2 I mention that I played and does feel like the weaker story but still good in the end. All the main girls to be with are great and like their personalities including when we get to learn more about them from who we choose the main character to be with.
The main character is like the least interesting to me, he is fine to me in my perspective.

The story main focus is mostly the main characters to change and be happy with someone he will end up with while the other focus is the witch theme was like not really focus much at all. The witch plot was barely focus and mostly like 25% and more of a school romance which is fine but I feel like school days did better but without super natural abilities. Just my opinion.
The art style is great and do love the design of the characters even though 95% is them in their school uniform. (One thing I notice but not a big problem is that there is only 2 male characters that are drawn which is the dad and the friend of the mc).
Music is good and does fit the story.

Shiiba Tsumugi is my favorite in this game.

The arts and CGs are great. Heroines are all good, didn't really like Tsumugi's route but the others are very enjoyable. 8/10

All of the Yuzusoft visual novels are good. This one doesn't have the same quality of life improvements of the later games, but the writing is still there. If you like other Yuzusoft titles, you should go through this one.

My best piece of advice for this game is to play Nene's route last. It's definitely the capstone route the game deserves.

This game deserves an anime adaptation like all the other great VNs out there.

So, would I recommend this game? Two words; Hell. Yes. But that's not a review, so here it is;

Sanoba Witch aka Sabbat of the Witch (as it's known on Steam) is a great VN. The story is a boy sees something he shouldn't and gets dragged into a world of magic and witches, along the way he meets for girls who will change his life...

First visual novel I end up dropping after one route.

This game is a waste of time. The story is a joke. The characters are whatever. Everything in this game only exists for fanservice purposes. If you're not interested in that crap, don't buy this game.

Totally recommend

Overall this is a pretty average VN. 6/10. Nene's route is probably the best, with Kariya + Meguru + Senpai being about the same.
The Tsumugi route is horrendous. One of the worst route I've ever read in a VN.

This is my second VN that I've read and the story was pretty damn good. I'm new to the VN world but comparing Sabbat of the Witch and Aokana, this tops it 10 fold. I played all the routes and all their stories have good writing. No girl was thrown under the bus or rushed unlike Aokana they did my girl mashiro dirty in aokana so give Sabbat of the Witch a shot or buy it when it goes on sale. Worth it. Don't forget R18 patch.

Sabbat of the Witch

Overall Point : 9.5/10
If u already play Yuzusoft games and u love it then u have to definitely try this out. I can guarantee that it worth ur time. If you're new to VN games then I think u should go for Cafe Stella instead but u also can go for this too

Story : 9.5/10
Most of the routes are well-written. It's enjoyable and surprisingly fun but can also get boring at the end. This problem (Boring) only seen in 1 route.

Music : 9.5/10
Music timing is fine but the problem is the song itself. I don't really know why but it's like can't give this 10/10.
But the music is really great tho.

Voice acting : 10/10
Voice acting is really great. I can feel like the voice actors are trying their best to understand the characters. They're amazing.

Character design : 9/10
I won't talk about character looks cuz it's about personal preference.
Characters backstory is surprisingly good and it makes me love these characters even more.
P.S. Protecc Nene at all cost.

Translation : 10/10
Even some of a japanese jokes are well-translated.

H-Scene (18+) : 9.5/10
Yuzusoft quality my fren.

Definitely one of the best Yuzusoft titles I've played.

Very engaging story with many unexpected twists and turns. I can see now see why this game receives so much positive reviews. It's definitely worth it even though you pay for the full price of the game. I would definitely play/restart the game again in the future when I'm bored.

18+ patch is recommended just because it kinda fits the story more but that's entirely up to you.

This was my Birthday gift, and it's without a doubt, the best gift I've ever had in the recent years, it's really an amazing and heartwarming story, the way you like your slice of life VN.

Each route is a unique mystery to uncover, and a twist that you won't see coming, with finishing them all you get the full picture of a unforgettable experience.

Don't mind my +200 hours, I literally was afk/sleeping half of the time, it took me around 100~120 hours to complete all the routes.

Story : 10/10
Nene route: Obviously the best route, the white-haired must protecc girl, my personal preference of a waifu, which the whole story wraps around, giving her the most of the attention, which isn't bad at all, with an epic and great ending that has many breath-taking moments, don't go around and say you played the game if you didn't finish this route.

Tsumugi route: The second best route in the game, a girl who might be taken for granted most of the time but is genuinely caring and so sensitive. Once you start her route, you can't ignore her overwhelming cuteness, with a good, fulfilling and happy ending.

Wakana route: The bonus route which will be unlocked once you finish one of the other 4 routes.
Not the best route imo, but a crucial one for the overall story. A cute girl with a normal story, can't say I enjoyed this route the most but it wasn't bad either.

Meguru route: Honestly, the worst route that I played in this game, I don't hate the likes of her, but she was so annoying to the point that you might hate the game if this was your first and only route, and probably most of the people fell into this trap considering her "gamer" personality which we all like to have for a waifu, I'm not saying she's a bad character, but the story plot is so cliché and kinda predictable, and had the cringiest confession to make it even worse. Sorry Meguru fans.

Touko route: The big tiddy milky-wilky milfy onee-san, I can't say I'm a fan of this type of girls, but the twist of this route was shocking in its own way, had what left unanswered of the rest of the story, and was a good way for the story to come to an end (since it was my last route in this game)

Music: 9/10
Having a specific theme for each heroine was a good way of showing the presence of each character, and the music was very good in general, I can see the effort in making it.

Voice acting: 10/10
Voice acting was really great. The VAs surely put their remarkable effort to understand the characters and their personalities.
I was in real shock when I knew that Nene's VA is in fact Anya's VA (from Spy x Family), it took me some time to believe it, lol!

Character design: 9.5/10
Unique personalities for each of the characters, including of course the side characters (Taichi, Kaidou, Kanae, Koshiji, Souma, and Akagi), each had their touch to make the story more great and magical in its own way, and the character backstories were what made it all a great piece of art.

Translation: 8.5/10
As a weeb of an average level, I can understand some of the Japanese words that they say, and as the translation is good itself, it is just not that accurate, I mean who doesn't know that "baka" doesn't mean "I hate you"!

Overall score: 9.5/10

Not gonna lie this game tricked me, i thought i was diving in to an ordinary VN until one scene. I am not new to the VN scene and this is definitely one of the more well made and visually pleasing ones.
