<report>For an indie VN, Ripples is excellent. The one complaint that can be made is possibly that the VN errs towards being perhaps a bit too high in sexual content, but given that's how most indie VNs obtain their funding, one can't complain too much.

The soundtrack is fitting albeit not memorable; the characters are varying degrees of nice, and not all are as one-dimensional as they seem. The main plot of the VN, as is discovered fairly early on, revolves around time-travel, and it is done in quite a refreshing way; utilizing (mostly mothers) of current love interests as the main characters of the past, and reflecting minor changes made in the past into bigger changes in the present. It's perhaps a bit too mysterious, but nothing too bad. It's definitely far better than the packaging implies.
