Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 35 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (1,554 of 1,836 positive).
Some reviewers find the gameplay repetitive and the UI slow. [1][2][3] A few players note the game is best for those familiar with Chinese culture or the era. [3][4][5]

I love this game and hate it at the same time. Nutshell: DO play it if you are very interested in a deep, rewarding, and creative story about life as a kid in 1999 China. DON'T play it if you get easily frustrated by a slow UI, don't like re-tracing your own steps and observing details, or aren't willing to follow a walkthrough step-by-step. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting the Kang Motor and the Yo-yo as fast as …

首先如果你不是那个年代的人或者对那个年代的一些东西没兴趣比较难产生共鸣。游戏属于怀旧类型的游戏，美工很棒，剧情的话觉得一般般。还算比较耐玩。 但是这个游戏又几个地方让我感到比较糟心，首先感觉主角非常的窝囊，非常的怂，跟他爹一起吃面时聊天居然需要勇气，我小时候也没这样而且本人真的非常讨厌懦弱的人。 再来就是故事线的问题，我明白这个游戏是需要多周目来完成各个故事线的，一开始探索也的确很有意思，但是要完成各个故事线你需要从很多不相及的地点搞道具，这个流程就非常的繁琐，有些故事线用到的道具可能要需要好几天收集来的东西这个设定真的是第一次让我在一个解谜类型游戏里感觉到肝。 一般来说一款游戏的时常和玩法之间需要有比较好的平衡如果玩法很单一时长却很长的话会让游戏玩起来觉得非常无聊。这个游戏从头到尾也就少一种玩法，就是多周目收集道具过故事线，所以我觉得物品什么的太过于分散了。 …

如果我们每一天做出的每一个决定都可以推倒重来。 第一次知道这款游戏是在某UP主的试玩视频里。90年代教科书插图式的画风，手写款的宋体字，一下子把我带回那朗朗读书声的课堂里。盼了半年多，终于等到了成品发售。与其说这是一款游戏，不如说是游戏开发者绘制的一幅写实的浮世绘。 …

Shio全成就玩家看到某熟悉的葛姓男子虎躯一震 想到哪写到哪： 人只要活着，就无可避免地要想自己所不愿想、看自己所不愿看。躲进被窝里或许能暂时得到20分钟的清净，但被窝外的一切仍在那里。变革兀自到来，强迫你去接受它。它将你信仰的一切推倒，然后沉默地看着你挣扎的丑态。 正如老葛所说，白敬西投向了虚无主义，他玩味地看着时代巨浪中挣扎的人是如何地徒劳，因为冷漠的世界并不允诺人一个真理，一个必然光明的未来。然而当大伯的歌声从离亭那里传来时，他发现人可以不用管什么沉重的“意义”而自发地感到自由快乐。正如他质问主角、质问屏幕后的玩家时，玩家给出的那句充满了“后现代主义”的回复：真的重要吗？白敬西所坚信的无意义也好，看信与不看信的时机也好，本质上都是给他自己设立了一个最终的、具有普遍权威性的认知框架，而后现代主义质疑这些框架的不可撼动性。 …

15 of 15 · most liked firstIn A Perfect Day, a game about childhood in mainland China, you go to an Internet Café that also rents consoles per hour - the thing I keep saying was extremely popular in the global south. AFAIK English doesn't have a word for those, it's just "arcade", so English-speakers tend to overlook them...
positive · AI labelView post →No english support so hold your houses before buying this crafty vn the game itself is pretty neat it falls off quickly after you completed a mission or two since you;d be repeating most of your progress. hopfully the dev can do some improving before they make a english translation.

I don't care if it's a child friendly rollercoaster tycoon. I love the music, the flash games, the presentation, the characters, all of it.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm curious about this game so I bought it. The game is in Chinese language, it would benefits you if you are learning Chinese. I really like the graphic and the story of the game. Totally worth the price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game and innovative gameplay, the content is fun yet quite philosophical too Only thing is that the story plot is quite specific to a generation so you need some knowledge of 90s China to enjoy the game fully, but I wouldn't say it's so important given that the game gives really good details of its background anyways Overall 10/10. Easily one of my favorites
