Difficult to explain why this is worth 5 stars without ruining the entire plot.....lets just say the plot carries this game, massively. What seems at first an almost cookie cutter story takes a turn to the complex as you play further on. New Game+ also offers changes to the plot and character developments so it is certainly worth replaying. The H-scenes are pretty well written with great art, even if there is a lot of distance between them at times and the gameplay aspects are solid.
Suffers a lack of combat design and rewards for combat, but this in itself a deliberate choice to fit in with the theme of the plot, especially when you realise most combat can be skipped on repeat playthroughs. Certain parts will get repetitive if you opt to New Game+ (the games gonna be short if you only do one run.....), but forging through will be rewarded by having certain segments skipped to speed up repeat playthroughs.
Overall, another top notch game by Sierra. While it lacks the grandiose scale of some of her other games, this short tale is certainly an enjoyable one to play.
