I've played through this twice now and I will be playing through it a few more times going forward.
This story is poignant and solemn and beautiful. It sets a stage in a unique setting that isn't often explored and you can tell it was crafted with love for both the setting and the time.
Sam Wong is immediately iconic, showing off the brand of exhuberance and fun-loving adventure the 80s are so often remembered for, while the protagonist, Michelle Cheung, portrays the clashing undercurrent of conformity expected out society's women in the day. The clashing together of their lifestyle creates a beautiful lightshow that will end on a note dictate by the player's choice at crucial moments.
The art is fantastic, the music is stellar, and the reverence and homage paid to its inspirations and origins is palpable. This is a steal at the price, and well worth it for a flavor of lesbian romance that is all-to-difficult to find in the visual novel space.
Please, please play this game and immerse yourself in its story!
