ReviewEbi-hime writes a lot of yuri stories but sometimes she does something a bit different. Lynne is about girls but there is no romance plot and the mood is probably darker than in most of the writer's other works. I'd say it's heavy. And I appreciate that Ebi was able to create it without relying on gore or something like that. There are some not so pleasant scenes but they don't feel out of place.

Basically, this is a story about pressure. Education and relationships. You need to look good in your parents' eyes while trying not to think about loneliness. Maybe there is something wrong with you after all.

This is the world of the main heroine. Something that everyone felt to some extent. And I think that Ebi-hime did a good job at depicting this state of mind and issues with society. The story is slowly paced and it's perfect to make you feel the same kind of madness as Lynn.

I also like that there are no clearly good characters. Most of them are nice but everyone still has not so beautiful side and this made me believe in them.

Another nice moment is the depiction of sex. There is no actual sex and no nudity but... I'll just say it's pleasant to see a scene where the MC doesn't go out of character as soon as she starts to feel good. Does she even feel good to begin with?

The only thing that I didn't really like is music. It didn't feel right in some scenes for me.

In the end, this is a pretty good story for something you can read in ~2 hours. It's not novel but I don't care about this when I enjoy reading. And it's even free in this case. Would love to see Ebi-hime creating more games like this one.
