WARNING:
This visual novel requires free content patch (download link available in the game's Kickstarter page). Steam version only contains the prologue chapter (Down the Rabbit-Hole 1). This review is based on the fully patched version of the game.

Likes:
O Very well written mystery-drama story that span across multiple chapters. The reader must piece together clues from different characters' point of view from each chapter to figure out the entire picture of the scenario.
O While the story seems to be quite complex at first, it is actually very straight forward once the reader complete the final chapter.
O Very addictive story and well written script along with multiple sub-endings will keep you reading for hours.
O Great soundtrack and excellent voice actings.

Dislikes:
X Serveral disturbing scenarios are way too long and badly paced (though it's definitely the writer trying to troll the reader).
X While almost every main characters are voice acted, one of the main male character isn't. It seems that the developer only hired female voice actors for female and feminine male characters.

Remarks:
- This visual novel contains a lot of disturbing and questionable contents; this includes but is not limited to extreme bullying, drug abuse, rape, incest, and suicide.
- A lot of references to other international literatures and poems. Knowing these references beforehand might (or might not) enhance your enjoyment of this game.
- Even with the free content patch, one CG is still removed when compared with the original Japanese version due to legal concerns on some regions.

Conclusion:
Wonderful Everyday (Subarashiki Hibi) is a very intersting and well crafted mystery-drama that will be hard to put down once you start reading. Its relatively long (40-50 hours) reading time is definitely worth the price. This is definitely one of the best visual novel available on Steam.

There's a very good reason that one of the male characters is not voiced. It's a major spoiler if this character had a voice.
