Comments:

Tayutama is old visual novel and you can see it in structure of routes. To read all 4 routes, you need to read same story events 4 times. With very minor lines difference and short heroine scenes between these events. Similar to Sharin No Kuni. So maybe best way to play it - just play it once with you favorite girl?About story itself - it is good. I was invested. One of the routes even unexpectedly made me cry.

It's not every day you see a new English VN publisher, so I wanted to see what their translation was like.I'm happy to report that in these times of overlocalization from pretty much all publishers nowadays, the translation in this leans more toward being faithful to the original text. This does NOT mean literal. It reads well in English but they don't remove Japanese culture, add their own jokes where there weren't in the original, or drastically change lines to put their own spin on it unlike some other publishers. The only major deviations from the Japanese I've seen are puns and wordplay but those are more understandable.Common honorifics are mostly kept with the notable exception of sensei which is weird because it's an extremely common and well known honorific, even outside the anime community. They also keep Yumina's third person speech.

Is this a "moe game", a "character game"? I'm not sure anymore. Until the middle of the game, I found the heroines a bit too self-centered... but then, I understood why I read good stuff about the story. I can't say that it's strictly a moe game, but in the second half of the story I started to understand more where the heroines were coming from, and started to find them cute in their clumsiness.Apparently there's a fan disc so I really hope it will be released too!Also other comments already said that but there is a R18 patch!
