This in addition to the Japanese variants of the same concept, is a music game with stories that are actually good. It is very strange to me that one of the maybe 5 games in total that succeeded in being emotional enough for me to cry is a music game.
Dotting, dragging and spinning on the screen in sync with the music while a short story plays out is pretty much all this game is. But it is done so well with the story changing with how optimal one plays, with worse play making the situation worse for the characters in the stories. I still some 15+ years later play the Christmas themed story "You're the inspiration" on Christmas eve each year.
