When I was playing through "Highway Blossoms", I was reminded somewhat of Nina LaCour's novel "We Are Okay". Amber, the main character, is a teenager who has recently lost her grandfather, the man who raised her and with whom pretty much all her memories are shared. However, rather than cutting off all ties to her hometown and flying off to college, Amber decides to take her grandfather's motorhome and attend a concert several states away.
It is this background that sets the stage for "Highway Blossoms", for on her journey Amber meets another teenager, the always-excited and innocent Marina. The two are forced together after Marina's care is stolen, and they are swept up in the gold rush. Without spoiling too much, as they hunt for the treasure and compete with a trio of anime stereotypes, Amber and Marina become friends, and then more.
As stated in the description, "Highway Blossoms" is a yuri visual novel. The version available here is censored, with the two H scenes excised, but a free patch is available from the developer for those who feel it necessary. It is rather short, maybe about 6 to 7 hours, with no branching paths, but I think that's about right for the story it's trying to tell.
I'm giving this four stars because, although the story is rather good (if predictable), the music is -- as mentioned in other reviews -- not particularly memorable, even though the eclectic taste of the main character is a key driver of the story.
Overall, though, I'd definitely recommend getting this on sale.
