Someone had asked me a while back, while I was away, if I could play and review this one... And surprisingly enough, I actually did read/play this one about a month back, and found it very fun and enjoyable... I even playing it several different times, which is not the norm for me, just because I wanted to try difference choices, to see where they would lead...
I have to say that the attention to detail that is needed to allow for choices in one of these things, to actually play out different scenes later in the story along with having different endings, is not something you see done well, too often... Sure, in the Japanese Hentai market you have many with different endings, but not so much in the more westernized market... It was refreshing, knowing how complex things can become when developing multi-threading stories, and I have to say they pulled it off well... Don't go into this VN/Game expecting it to be completely realistic, and there are a few over the top characters... But I was pleasantly surprised that they fit into the story, just fine... Bringing a bit of laughter now and then, to mix it up...
I went ahead and posted my review...

Have to say the build up and main story was pretty good, then the ending is just needlessly bad. Completely ruined the game and made it feel like a complete waste of time.
I don't know if it's because the creator is a bad writer or just trying to play on the heartstrings a bit - but it fell flat and didn't have any effect other than to make me frustrated.

To the best of my knowledge, that choice has little to no impact on the game or the story. Much like most of your choices *grumble, grumble, grumble* ...

Oof...
As much as this game is really well made and i the story is truly beyond anything i ever played, i probably won't touch it again. It hit too close to home. Lost people to cancer. Lost friends to accidents. Made many wrong decisions that will haunt me for the rest of my days. It make me anxious and ill.
Now don't mind me, i really loved the game. But i play the forget my mistakes, not to be remembered of them.

It wasn't well written. Everything was rushed in such a blatant way to try and make the audience feel bad. I'm astounded you didn't notice that.I finish now and I'm sad and actually I'm crying... I'm starting to cry 30 minutes ago and I can't stop[/SPOILER]

The game is well written for me... Yes I don't like the ending but not all games can finish with a good ending right? I cried a lot yes but if one game give this kind of emotions I call it a masterpiece
Done playing this. What a good game. Good Job. Also, is this inspired from Telltale games? it has "<insert character> will remember this"
So I just finished playing it... Great writing, during the game all I wanted was to have good times with Liam and protec Melissa AT ALL COSTS. I was loving it right up until the end and then it fell kinda flat to me.
So yeah, I obviously loved most of this game and cared about it enough to write this huge post... I'll look forward to whatever this dev makes next, even if there were some fundamental flaws that stopped me from wholeheartedly appreciating it.

I cried 40 minutes with no stop only for the ending... It was hard choose who save
There was some emotional pandering and a few times the twists felt a little forced, but the bottom line to me with good storytelling more than anything else is whether I connect with the characters and care about them. On that level, it did that so it's good writing overall. The characters are relatable and unique in different ways that so far are MUCH stronger and more nuanced than the characters in the creator's new game at the college. (to be fair, only one episode for that one but in this game right away in the first episode I could tell the characters were going to be good) The fact that so many people that have played this game (I believe anyway) cared about the characters speaks as to the effectiveness of that writing, and for those that felt nothing for the characters, certainly nothing wrong with that but writing can't realistically impact 100% of readers.
