Review	This is very unfair review because it's not about the actual content of the Fandisk, but I'm still dropping a low rating. Hoshizora no Memoria - Eternal Heart - HD does NOT include an option to run in [windowed mode]. Exhibit A (settings in the fandisk): link Exhibit B (settings from the base game, for comparison): link I have never seen in over 10 years of media consumption that a VN not only FORCES full-screen natively, but also doesn't work with keyboard shortcuts (alt+enter or alt+f) or window shortcuts (-w, -window, -windowmode). I will happily adjust the score if a patch is made.

This is the one of main reasons why I don't prefer to jump in right away as soon as something is released. I try to wait at the very least 3-4 weeks after a release. P.S.: I guess op never bothered to adjust their score contrary to what they claimed...Last modified on 2023-05-20 at 01:50

I mean, I guess if you want to have distractions running in the background it could be a hassle, or if you wanted to follow a walk-through while playing it could be annoying, but I still don't see why so many people were complaining about it.
