ReviewI'm choosing a mini-review because otherwise I could be here all day.

Clannad is one of my first Visual Novel. The amount of details that go into living in the game's world, the relationships Tomoya has or builds during the course of the visual novel, and the way those lives around him affect others is nothing short of legendary. Clannad is a VN that deeply changed the way I approach art and especially dramatic content, having read it when I was a teenager myself.

Going through every character's route and seeing these new perspective and how these characters grew with or without each other always gave me a pit in my stomach of how choices can affect others. Yet it was during the afterstory that the game really broke me. Stories about imperfact adulthood and regret mixed with happiness.
