MC is attending a wizardry school alongside other students, with whom she partners to make it through the most rigorous assessments that this would entail. But not everything in this school is as simple as it seems, after all, magic never is.

I have to say I am ashamed that it took me until the very end of his storyline to recognize that the voice of Clyde is Tetsuya Kakihara, my favorite voice actor. That grave injustice aside, this game looked quite pretty, but the storyline was kind of iffy to me. It lacked a lot of depth, but to be fair, they did manage to put quite a bit of emotion into it. One of the storylines made me cry so much that I ran out of tissues. Given that I expected more of my first otome on the switch, I think I wanted more out of this one than I received. However, once again in defense of this little game, it was probably the best one initially available on that platform. I did stumble into the secret storyline almost immediately and without warning, so there was that. It doesn’t spoil anything really, it isn’t linked too much to the other characters, but it did feel very out in left field compared to the more lighthearted stories that reside alongside it. Which was a good thing - I like interesting surprises.
