YAY! I finally got around to finishing the game AND GOSH! I love it so much! It was SO much fun!

The art is seriously so pretty that I sometimes just paused the game to admire the characters (especially the MC man, this girl is a catch!) and I loved how the players are able to customize her to have different hair colors or skin tones (and how y'all went the extra mile to draw several CGs to match each customization). You guys only had two months and made the most of what little time you had and for that I bow down in appreciation and awe and respect because seriously, you guys are amazing!

I also loved the phone and texting feature and that we were able to give our best friend a name, it felt so much more interactive and real and had me seriously invested and looking forward to each end of a chapter to see what my best friend and I would text about. Your writers did a phenomenal job in capturing the genuine realness of texting and the characters, they felt like people I know and have met in my own life which made this game even more fun to play and had me seriously crushing on the love interests!

I would like to also thank your artists for doing such a wonderful job on drawing all the backgrounds -- you can really tell how much love and detail went into each place and there were A LOT of places, so kudos to you guys! I really enjoyed exploring the city you drew! 

AND THE CAT! THE MEOWING AND PURRING CAT! I was so happy to see the little guy and interact with him and even have him with me during some of the routes!!! The purring had me melt into a happy puddle!!!

As for each love interest, there's a plethora of things I could say but I will keep it short and simple and say:

1.) Tristan is such a sweet bean and deserves the world and I loved how adorable he was during the good ending and how kind and supportive MC was in this route (though I also LOVED the bad ending in which she was a slightly yandere-esque girlfriend, it just fictionally really hit the sweet spot for me LMAO!) A+ guy !!!

2.) I genuinely did not think I would fall this hard for Theo. I mean I always thought he was handsome when I saw his character design, but I always thought I would only go feral for Mark, but man Theo was such a green flag and so so so SO sweet, he raised the fucking bar for any guy I will date in the future and I will definitely come back to replay his route in the future. 10/10 ship him with the MC the most. I just love them. I will pretend the bad endings never happened, because he and the MC will forever be happy.

3.) LUCA! Gosh. His VA has me in a chokehold. I love his laugh. So much. Luca looks like a fuckboy, so I was really careful about falling for him while playing his route but dude, he too was such a fucking green flag. THEY ALL WERE (except Mark lmao) and I thoroughly enjoyed his route. It was so much fun and I LOVE LOVE LOVED!!!!!! how you guys wrote the MC in Luca's route. She was more assertive, confident, and teasing and I really loved seeing this side of her and I think it fits perfectly with Luca. Shy girl falls for popular guy, but shy doesn't mean pushover and I really appreciated that! 5 stars with rainbow sprinkles, Luca fanclub COMMENCE!!!!

4.) I saw that Mark ending in the extra notes. I played it. And let's just say, I see all the red flags and I wrap them around my chest as I run into his arms. I will forever be a Mark apologist, fully conscious how much of a fucking dickhead he is LMAO

Thank you guys so much for creating this wonderful game and for having it be out for FREE!!! I had a blast playing Under Maintenance and I will be following you guys with excitement to see what else you will come up with and create!

Take care of yourselves and enjoy the break now!!! You worked really hard, you deserve it <3
