ReviewDreamin' Her ~Boku wa, Kanojo no Yume o Mirai is a story that revolves a high school teenager who is controlled by his mother and expected to have great grades so that he could not label as a failure and have a great job to have a high income like her mother's work. One day, he suddenly reunited with his childhood friend in high school and she talks to him as if she was close to him back in the old days but it wasn't the case due to his personality being alone and perfectionist like what his mother supposed to do. He is emotionally unstable person who can't make mistakes or decision of his own with his life because of his mother's expectations for him. Instead of being a writer, her mother doesn't approve of it because of the income they made is not the same compared to her work. Even though he is emotionally unstable, he still have feelings for his childhood friend but it got worse when he confesses his love for her. She didn't accept it due to some reason which led him to be depressed.

That's probably I could sum up the common part but as you go deeper to the story and choose which end you will go (FYI, there are 2 bad end and 1 [true] good end), it will reflect how we humans can somehow relate to those kinds of things in life, (i think this is especially for Asian peps like chinese and etc. since there parent highly expects from them a great future towards them and not have difficulty in life when there children have there own passion rather than there parents choosing them). Since there is depression on this story, you can expect what will happen to the MC in the story like in the first bad end, he dies from sleep and probably overdose of drug use (since he was using sleeping pills) after Kako accepts his feelings from Aoi, which Kako is Mirai's other sister (idk if younger, twin, or older), a CG will show that both Aoi and Kako ascended to the sky which that part is where death starts for him. As what happen to him in real life, his mother called an ambulance and told them that he wasn't breathing anymore. (yeah I know its shit scary). Second bad end is where he hallucinates Kako being in the real world and followed her everywhere in the city and suddenly disappear out of nowhere and Aoi tries to find her but no luck. In the end, he choose one option to see again which is suicide by falling at the top of the building of the school. . It is quite interesting how the story relates to us about like and mental illness (e.g. Depression), it is dangerous when you hold it by yourself and not wanting for help for others. This actually happens to me almost all the time because of school and some other cases in life that gets me down but somehow I can understand how the MC feels in the story having a parent who have high expectations for you and getting a good and stable job with high income and not being a failure which affects our mental health and gives us pressure to our body until you don't wanna live anymore just because of the things they wanna expect from you in life.

For the Game's art, is very interesting and somewhat a beautiful artwork on how the made the background so eccentric but the problem is that when viewing the extras the CGs are cut, they are not in full screen. For the OST, it pretty great how they incorporate the songs to each situation of the story, I have no problems with that. For the story, I have only some problems with it but that's not much of an importance to speak of. And lastly the characters,, I have no problem how they are design for the story.

Overall, I gave it a 9 for this. why 9? because of the CGs in the extras that couldn't be viewed properly and some problems in the story I find not important and stupid somehow.
