Pros
-Cute girl, easy to figure out gameplay
-Game can be cleared in an hour or so
-Kind of interesting puzzle-like game format with limited actions adds interest without being too difficult or time-consuming to figure out.

Meh
-Game is a shorter format, so don't expect much story or depth
-Average amount of scenes for this length/format of game

Cons
-Combat is so poorly developed, it really shouldn't have been included at all. You never unlock any new skills, so it's just all about trading basic attacks with random dodge chance throwing a monkey wrench in.

Conclusion
A smaller-format game about an apprentice witch who needs to gather "energy" from the local men in order to pass her last test. You are given a limited number of days to do this, with a set number of actions each day (an item can be purchased that gives extra actions, but is very expensive to farm). The play area is very small, so you will explore the town, find the potential "donors", and then spend your actions to do tasks for them to progress. Most quests take several days to complete, so go around starting as many as you can first and try to progress evenly to avoid running out of time.

This adds a bit of interest to the game, but also serves to highlight the limitations. While you can do the quests in different orders, you need to do every quest to get the only good ending, so there is no replay value. Don't expect much depth in the quests or plot either. Finally, we get to the worst part of the game - the combat. It is utterly bare-bones, with just a basic attack/block/use item system. The only real variation comes from the annoyingly high dodge chance of some monsters, which can cause you to lose fights out of nowhere. The fighting is such a chore, it would have honestly been better to just skip it. A lot of games that don't want to develop the fighting system just have you auto-defeat enemies by running them over, treating them as more of a fetch-quest. This would have been less tedious.

Overall, it is a sort of unique and largely well done small format game. Recommended if on sale and you like the aesthetic and shorter RPG-lite games.
