Hello! Self-voicing is available in the game and image captions have been included where necessary in the story (the game is narrative-heavy so much of the description happens naturally in the narration, but additional image captions have been added for moments where something is not described).
Having said that, it hasn't been tested all the way through the entire game. I'd be happy to look into any potential bugs or oddities that may arise that I wasn't aware of though.
Mmm... yes and no. I would not categorize this as a "romance vn" first and foremost. It is mostly a horror drama with some tragedy. However, there is some romance in the vn as part of the story. If you are looking for a lot of romance or more of a standard romance/dating vn, this vn might not be what you want...
There is definitely some romance, it's just not the main focus of the story. The story revolves around 5 childhood friends that all have very complicated relationships with each other, some of which are romantically inclined (and there are scenes with kissing). Also, while there is nothing NSFW in the game, there are strong sexual themes and a few scenes that are quite sexual in nature though they do not go all the way (also content warning there are some scenes with sexual assault, just as a warning). There's quite a long list of content warnings so just want to make sure you don't end up playing it and you feel very uncomfortable.
