• overall: A. enjoyment: A.
• a sweet dating sim spin (though two routes are platonic) on the old childrens book "a little princess". cute art and charming additions to the books story breathe life into the classic. definitely recommend.
• plot: S. its just "a little princess", which has a good plot already. however, the dev gets extra points for managing to split up all the material in the book into six cohesive storylines without overlap and without losing a single aspect that makes the story great.
• characters: S. it didnt create these characters, with the exception of mariette who is mostly OC, but they are treated fantastically and enriched in absolutely beautiful ways. lavinia and jessie in particular received massive story additions that turned them into believable and lovable girls while still maintaining the antagonism they had in the book.
• writing: A. the majority of the game is just the actual book "a little princess". which is a great book. many sections and in some cases even whole routes are added specially for the game, however, and in most cases theyre well written and integrated very well. a couple inconsistencies and issues arise, but for the most part its fantastic.
• routes: lavinia > jessie > ermengarde > becky > mariette > lottie
• gameplay: D. in a unique take on the genre, most of the gameplay is actually a stat raiser. you play through saras daily responsibilities while trying to get the right stats to unlock character events before their deadlines. its fun, though not especially hard unless youre not paying attention or trying to multitask. its sweet and adds a neat little spin on it rather than being a pure VN as you might expect. the VN sequences themselves, however, are entirely linear with no choices.
• art: A. its great. very well done, and always cute. not standout, but at the top of the genre.
