Note: The free version on Steam is bugged,
there's no files will be downloaded to your game library. (fixed)
Steam overlay is disabled in game, since it's made of Flash.
Full voice-acting, side stories and extra modes (Gallery,
Music Room, Character Details) are exclusive in Plus DLC.
I have played the free version online too, let's start at that.
This is an extremely short visual novel,
I think I've finished in 2 hours. (excluded collecting seashells)
Plus DLC contents are less than 30 minutes in total, either.
But compared to the scenario, that's not a strong weakness.
The game focus on interactions between Cantus and Maris,
which have different topics, and multiple seashells to pick.
The seashell you pick changes Maris' reaction every day.
Cantus is a very serious and anti-social boy,
while Maris is a kind of pure and cheerful.
Their dialog reflects their personality perfectly.
As it goes, Maris affects Cantus much more.
This is a story about life, growth and family.
Through the playing session, I feel relaxed.
I really love the atmosphere in this game.
Musics, CGs, and the voices from the sea.
