What might put you off

  • Heavy reading and limited interaction

  • Very short runtime

The setup

What you are walking into

Alone in your room, you see a diary sitting on your desk. It wants to tell you a story: a story about a high school crush. A story about small town romance. A story about how everyone is against you and nobody will ever love you again.
