I also saw another one, but it was horribly biased from what I've read.

Thanks a lot, Dusk ^^
Im on the fence right now just because its [Yuri]... ... Quick... Call me a frikkin sexist! >_>
Im assuming that the lead character is a female... Thus reminding me back to the times of X-Change games... ... ... Ahh, scary yet bittersweet memory.
I read something about a straight ending on /jp/. Take that as you will.

thanks for the review, probably going to give it a miss, not because of the yuri ( which apparently is seems to be a bit lacking) but it doesnt seem all that fun
how's the story?
is it interesting?
can someone ad a download for this. prefer mediafire or mega
