Reception[edit]
Magical Diary received positive reception. The game received 4 of 5 stars on Gamezebo with reviewer Cassandra Khaw writing: 'A dating sim at heart, Magical Diary's anime-inspired visuals lend well to the atmosphere. [..] Charmingly indie, Magical Diary is definitely worth the purchase.'[2] Gamertell gave it a score of 87/100, opining it is 'a great example of the recent assortment of games for girls inspired by the Princess Maker model and the possible trophies to earn provide even more incentive to keep replaying to discover as much as you can about Iris Academy and its characters.'[3] JayIsGames wrote about the game: 'Despite a few hiccups and quibbles, Magical Diary: Horse Hall is probably the best visual novel/life simulation out there in its fantasy genre right now.'[4]Rock, Paper, Shotgun review stated: 'As it is, almost all the replayability is on the story side, especially on the romance side, and even with a fast-forward button to skip scenes you’ve already seen, you’ll be wading through a lot of the same text as you poke around. That’s standard practice for this kind of game though, and Magical Diary is better about it than many imported Japanese ones I’ve seen [..]'[5]
