Such a beautiful and chill game. After playing it, I realized it's like a graphic novel but without being a graphic novel. You get to observe the life of the characters via text messages. While the responses you chose have no bearing on the game (as far as I can tell), it was enough to keep me engaged in the story as it helped put me in the story. As the game progresses, you plant and harvest flowers, earn profit, and pay your rent. I couldn't tell if it had any bearing on the progress of the story, but that didn't really matter either. It's just a slice of life experience that can be consumed in short relaxing bursts.
