This short visual novel packs a surprisingly meaningful message.

At its core, it’s a tale about bullying, courage, and standing up for what’s right—enhanced by a touch of supernatural action. You step into the shoes of a student who, after witnessing a classmate being bullied, chooses to intervene. Naturally, this paints a target on your back, but fate has something special in store—a mysterious pendant that grants you incredible combat abilities.

The game runs on a solid visual novel engine, offering all the essentials: multiple save slots, a handy skip function with two modes (one for unseen text and one for everything), and a straightforward interface. While skipping can speed up subsequent playthroughs, it’s not necessary since the game follows a linear path with only minor text variations. There’s technically a few "bad endings" to watch out for, but the overall experience remains linear.

While the translation is mostly serviceable, there are occasional awkward phrasings and a handful of untranslated lines. Fortunately, these hiccups don’t significantly detract from the experience.

To keep things from becoming too text-heavy, the game introduces a handful of mini-games—some of which are tied to avoiding bad endings. These range from timed challenges, like breaking into a drawer before someone returns, to simple point-and-click mechanics reminiscent of classic adventure games. None of them overstay their welcome, and they add a nice touch of interactivity to the experience.

Overall, while this visual novel isn’t groundbreaking, it’s a short and engaging story with a positive message, a bit of action, and just enough interactivity to keep things fresh. If you’re looking for a brief but meaningful diversion, it’s worth a shot.
