My body couldn't handle the emotional rollercoaster a second time x.x

It says it will be a spiritual successor and not a direct sequel, which I think I like better.

Yeah, I can understand that. I don't know how big you are into visual novels but if you've ever played Yume Miru Kusuri (A drug that makes you dream), I remember Aeka's route (being about bullying) being one of the most emotional stories I've ever read about.
