I enjoyed the writing style in this novel enormously! Frederick was a really likeable and endearing character.

The first two endings I read left me feeling all warm and fuzzy, and I was fond of them a lot. It was the endings titled: Home is Where the Heart is & A Fresh Start. Haha, I guess you could say I liked this work so much that I went back to explore other sides of the story, and they ended up being sad. Poor Frederick. I did expect there to be bad endings, though, because I did glance at the trigger warnings prior to reading.

The writing tone was seeped in melancholy, and it honestly made me tear up a little. However, it was such a touching narrative in the end. <333 I like the way you portrayed themes of memory loss and the struggle to remember bits and pieces of the past, as well.

It was interesting how the identity and form of the main character was mysterious and not clear until much later (I won't spoil it here for other readers as it's more fun to discover it yourself). ;)

The textured black-and-white art was lovely. I also appreciate all the facial expressions you made for Frederick; they were all so varied and added a lot to the reading experience.

The bad endings were also very shocking (but made sense, considering whichever choices the player made).

I can tell a lot of thought was put into this, and I'm thankful to have had the chance to read such a beautiful tale.
