whoah, new title art, whoa pretty GUI, whoa have another sprite style (likes to switch between them), both have the same creepy/concerning factor to Kay's empty eyes sprite lol. This still is one of my g(old) otomes (and underrated gems alongside Cinderella Phenomenon, Dark Nights, etc) with a protagonist I prefer tbh, like this one understandable (if not, more relatable for me) and is the introverted one rather than usual cheerful protags. I'm glad the bond with a parental figure (father) in this one not being all that absent and excluded, too except that one time he made the phone silent when he was really needed in Clive's route lol.

If I remember correctly, from the last demo I played, the same major things were about Kay, that dream, and meeting with Clive (though this one unfolds differently..? Not sure). whatever scenes added to flesh them out were taken at a natural pace. Imagine me getting flashbacks over meeting Jasper (i fumbled about his name and thought it Jakob at first lol) again at that store which I luckily went with Shannon (last time was alone, met both him and Natalia).  

since im liking Natalia so far, and curious about Jasper, im excited for their release! hopefully could buy it with book two to marathon the full entirety.

After Kay re-emerging, felt so bad lol downright anguish i wouldn't be able to handle it as strong as Xani did keeping up like it didn't affect her much in front of Kay.

i wonder who was that well hello there handsome photographer?

Kay's route was a.. rollercoaster driving you through therapy sessions, both the mc and love interest lol, was good it referred his issues as not something we can fix right away, but to grow from and still stay together... Thankfully, reached his good end first try. Compared to that route, Clive's route was a straightforward breeze and a balanced dose of tsundere with his character development that had me awe(inspired)+lovestruck plus the scene of him wrestling with Jasper was cool of him, for me. needless to say, i Clive won me over (aside from the fact that he was just like me frrr). I was indecisive and kinda had difficulty getting into Clive's route from it because i couldn't stop feeling bad 'leaving' Kay to prioritize choosing him. didn't have the heart (get it?) to deliberately aiming for his bad ends too. I've always been not into the color red, but Clive painted it in a nicer pure light:3
