Reviews -Emotional Depth and Character Development
“The story really tugs at the heartstrings and the characters are the driving force of the game’s narrative.”
“It was really nice that so much of Linh’s time with Ai and Jinhai is learning skills and knowledge from them that were denied to her by her family or by wider society.”
– Okazu
“I want Jinhai to teach me cooking too! Though I love all the characters, Jinhai is definitely my favourite…”
– npckc
“The main character and her two love interests in Mizuchi all come across as being flawed yet likeable people.”
Mizuchi – Cultural and Philosophical Depth
“Many topics are brought up such as Asian history, culture, colonization, human and bestial hierarchies and much more. This is all in an effort to answer three questions: Who am I? What do I want? What am I looking for?”

– npckc
“Such an intriguing visual novel that’s proven to be both unique and philosophical.”
“Writing is varied in emotional and philosophical sophistication.”
Mizuchi – Art and Atmosphere

“The descriptions & images of food are all so delicious! It made me hungry just playing it.”

“I can listen to the tracks on loop for hours on end.”
“Mizuchi capitalizes on this charm with some of the best sprite animation since Heart of the Woods.”
