A fairly short, simple VN. Solid story penned, I believe, by original series mangaka Kore Yamazaki. Being a self-contained side story has its benefits and drawbacks - the original protagonists ultimately come together nicely, but also simply aren't as complex as longer running characters from the main series, and also can't match the fanservice value of seeing faves from the series. Production values are an unfortunately mixed bag - the anime designs make for gorgeous and highly polished sprites, and the soundtrack (mostly reused from the anime) is very good, but basically every other aspect of presentation is pretty visibly cheap - minimal voice acting, limited foley, fairly limited backgrounds and only the crudest sorts of camera pans for animation. Most disappointingly, the localization is functional but quite crude, almost certainly lightly edited machine translation, often making small but noticeable flubs or outright mistakes with subjects, proper nouns, or character voice. All told, a fun enough side story for die-hard Magus Bride fans like myself, but not remotely essential.
