2024-11-04 | Chip | Very cute and informative of the transgender struggle in Japan, loved the characters and storyline!❤️❤️ | |
2024-10-27 | P-M Anne | Super cute positive game exploring the trans experience. | |
2024-10-20 | Ryuuky Saotomi | Ryuuky Saotomi ( She/Her ) I'm a Transgender Demigirl... it's hard to find peace of mind. Playing reminds me a lot of myself and the many 😌 problems I've gone through in school and public. I just wish 🤞 people understood... 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 | |
2024-09-04 | yh | very insightful storyline and plot, was a bit wary since it's centered around a trans character and the portrayals aren't always the best, but I think this one was really great, didn't make being trans seem weird or anything. the insight it gave on haru's struggles being trans was really nice, as well as how others helped her and their reaction to her. I do wish it was less story-like and a bit more interactive though. overall a very wholesome cute game with adorable graphics. | |
2024-07-28 | Käsekuchen der Fettleibigkeit | It's a nice small visual novel. It demonstrates an understanding of the anxieties of a lot of trans people and was very comforting to play through. There seems to be a longer version of it. I didn't play it, but I might. | |
2023-08-17 | Dawn Bailey | can't say anything about the game's performance on mobile, but i have played this on PC and "A YEAR OF SPRINGS" on Xbox. i must say that the story was really touching. as a trans girl i can relate to a LOT of the events in this series of games. Haru isn't just a walking stereotype but a fleshed-out character with personality. it isn't too long either so it's quite easy to pick up & play. great job to the developers and writers of these games, they are the best visual novels i have ever played. | |
2023-06-04 | Andy Dotto | The story is touching, and I'm so happy with the ending I got. It looks like there's more to the story in A Year of Springs. Great. Good. Anyway... This is the first game I've played in a long time that a) let's you adjust settings before you get into it and b) let's you choose to have hints or not. Do you know how many games just steal control as soon as you load them up? You have to LEVEL UP to be allowed to even turn down the music. This was so relaxing. What a fun game | |
2022-08-26 | Abigail Hatfield | Despite what other people say, I've had a pleasant experience with this game! I'm not sure why it won't open for others. I enjoyed how it was protrayed; usually games where they center the plot around someone being trans aren't the best, but this one did well. I could relate to the part when she explained how being trans felt to Erika. I will admit, I do have some minor criticism. Some parts could have had choices and there could have been room for more endings and it was short. Simple overall. | |
2022-06-06 | Jv9 | Reminds me of this one VN on kongregate that depicts a sensitive topic (forgot title unfortunately). The audio, color, art, and visual and design gives off a warm feeling and cuteness as text flows while you read. The sentences in game is not a wall of text but gives enough info to create an image of what the chars are saying and depicts who they are as a person and portray them in a way that people can relate to. The choices are limited by 2 but each can lead to a specific ending. | |
2021-08-13 | AuRory_ | The story is really interesting, this game caught my eye for about a year ago, and i'm really regretting not installing this until now. All I can say is the art is beautiful and so so cute, the story.. man i can relate to that, the feeling of not fitting right in is just... The issues from reality is well delivered. This is a great game and the best for me. Hope you can continue and do more games like this so that many people can enjoy your games. Keep it up and don't give up. |
