a short game that I enjoyed so thoroughly.
the romance was great, but what I really appreciated was the somewhat mundane premise and the way it created space for great writing. I loved the relationship between the three party members, the slow build up of trust and friendship in both platonic and romantic relationships, and the PC's ability to support their companions as they developed as characters.
loved the dev's previous projects. i'm ready to see their take on political intrigue and eager to uncover more world building aspects!
genuinely invested in solving the murder mystery at this point! really hoping that the logical elements remain pretty tight :)
perhaps the most unusual worldbuilding/setting I've encountered in an IF so far. high stakes and intriguing mysteries! appreciate that I can also build relationships w what seem to be nonromanceable characters, with said relationships convincingly feeling like they might affect future events
when I say I pursued no romance option and was perfectly happy, I meant it. incredibly charming.
