It’s rare that we have a game that genuinely deserves to be called “elegant”, but Root Letter is that game. It takes a romantic, nostalgic idea, wraps it up in a mystery that is fun to piece together, and does all of that within the context of one of the most beautiful examples of anime art you’ll ever see.
A great Visual Novel that comes with a well written story and beautiful art direction.

One of the best games that I have ever played on PS4. The story was very intriguing and made me want to play a lot more. I was satisfied with all the endings but i wouldn't mind a continuation of the same game and building more depth into the endings.

An interesting visual novel game which gains interest with the next chapter to know what will happen next to unravel Aya Fumino’s mystery. Its setting in the city of Matsue, in Shimane prefecture, and the variety of endings makes this game an interesting option in its genre.
Root Letter is a strange visual novel, but one that keeps players interested throughout. If you feel you’ve received a rather lackluster ending then that’s cause to play through four more times to uncover the final truth. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t make expedite subsequent playthroughs. Still, there is a lot to like about a visual novel focused on the lives of thirty somethings rather than samey love-struck teenagers.
Less-discerning players with a tolerance for bad localizations, or maybe Matsue residents, will find a pleasant diversion in Root Letter, but for everyone else, it's difficult to recommend, especially at its current price tag.
Proving too slow-paced and repetitive for its own good, Root Letter fails to seal the deal on its promising set-up, though it may yet pave the way for improved Kadokawa mysteries to come.
My laborious, 10-hour uphill battle with Root Letter ended in the hill giving way to a massive drop into a bottomless ravine, and as I fell through the ravine, I felt regret. I felt pain. I felt aggravation...And I heard the same damned song playing for like a dozen hours until I died.
I bought the game after a friend of mine played it. I am a big fan of Japan and it seemed that the game presents through a mystery an area that I didn`t know, Shimane.
I played different visual novel and this is particular since there is an "adventure" aspect pretty unusual for this type of game. Art is beautiful (I love Mino Taro) and the story is somehow intriguing.
If you like Japan and Visual Novel, I suggest you to give it a go.

Una de las mejores novelas visuales que hemos probado en los últimos años, con una trama que te engancha desde el primer minuto y que sólo se ve lastrada por un minijuego poco inspirado y un par de situaciones que o dan vergüenza ajena o sólo sirven como catalogo turístico de Matsue.

Extremely forgettable game with some of the worst mechanics I've ever seen.
There is no point in having "Max Mode" and the dialogue is pretty terrible as well.
There are multiple endings, but I stopped after the first playthrough. There's nothing fun about it that makes you want to keep playing like in 999.
