What a fantastic little time-traveling romp!
I honestly adore
all the characters and the dynamics. Wren is excellent and super
relatable, as are her friends and love interests.
Lonan is an
absolute soft sweetheart and I love him and his dumb memes. Galvin I
didn't like at all at first, but the payoff when he softened up was
perfect, and I actually ended up liking him a lot! (I love me a well
done tsundere). I thought for sure Lonan had a secure hold on my heart,
but then Galvin gave him a ferocious run for his money and now I just
adore both. Honorable mention to Kanaria, she is a fantastic character
and excellent best friend. I saw in the devlog that there is talk of
making her the MC of her own game, and I would absolutely be interested
in that!
I liked the inclusion of the gameplay elements. The
shards were neat and I like that it was explained in-game, though it
felt like a lot of explanation for a fairly simple mechanic. I also
really liked the point and click parts, but it was a little tedious to
get the good end after the bad because I would skip past the glowing
events, and couldn't scroll back. (Worth it though, I love gameplay in
my otomes!)
I love a good time travel mystery/romance, and this
definitely hit the spot! I liked the time loop and the way the MC and
LIs reacted to it. I do feel like this is a compressed version of a
story that could have been much larger - I still have a lot of
questions! Would definitely be interested in a third route. (Tell us
your secrets, black bird~)
