The score may change after playing the final version:
The demo is a bit short to know the way the game is developed, for the moment it seems that it will be something softer/lighter (but who knows, maybe we will end up with something darker like Starfighter: Eclipse), it would be a good change of path to be honest, buuut we will not know until the release. So, about the part of the game we know so far:
I think there has been an improvement in the writing (in comparison to their other game) when it comes to narrating feelings, and well, in general, the characters are able to distinguish themselves from each other without falling into an exaggeration of the archetypes on which they are based, for example the contrast of Leon between someone who tries to make himself seem funnier or closer with his jokes and his more intimidating side manages to create a pretty good atmosphere discomfort.
The art as always is 10/10 and the backgrounds are incredible
I finished the game and so far so good, the art is one of the best I saw so far in this kind of games so kudos for the artist! and, as I said before, the backgrounds are stunning!
The story has a plot twist in the genre I didn't expect and I love it at the end of it, I can't wait to see the second part!
About the RO, I'm a bit confused, I thought the three of them were Ros, but in the game it looks like the real romance will be between Alex and Leon, the others being more secundary (at least I felt it that way), at least the short story between Evan and Ollie seems to say that and I don't really know what to think about it. NGL for a sec there I thought this would end in some kind of poly, since everyone of the cast has a very good chemistry between them and TBH I would TOTALLY love that, we need more (true) poly representation out there and not only harem. In that aspect I don't really know what to think, I felt Ollie and Evan has better chemestry than Evan and Alex LMAO, on other hand, I love Evan so much and I wanted to see the romance between him and MC HAHAHA. But Ollie is just too cute too and he would be a very good couple for him too!
If I had to say one negative thing about the game, I think it would be the pacing, especially in the romance aspect. I understand that the game is finite and you can't just put more and more content, but I feel like the way the character and MC interact and the fellings between them develop too quickly!
In conclusion, I really liked this game and I will recommend it to play for everyone who wants good art and a loveable cast of characters characters!
