10/10 recommend playing, I was hooked immediately. This game is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever played. for the last couple days, I would get back home and set aside a couple hours just to play it. but, I think in all the fun I had, and all the urgency i felt to get the true ending, I didn't notice how much I got into the game. I don't think i was really prepared for how much I was gonna love it. how attached i got to all the characters, the true ending Is about letting go and I wasn't ready at all. but when does letting go ever wait until you're ready? if it did, no one would let go of anything, All good things must come to an end, but God it was fun. it made me uncomfortable and awkward, it made me laugh and smile, it made me cry alone in my room with just my computer for company. it was  a game so full of life. I remember thinking "how can someone create something so beautiful?"  I remember thinking "how am i ever gonna want to play another game again?" I think its ruined me for any other VN, I think if i do play something else, I will always be looking for something like one last goodbye in between the lines of dialogue and lines of art. 

there were so many funny and amazing scenes, some sad and heavy, but my absolute favorite was when Lake was thinking back on when them and syun took one of the colony cats to the vet and they were talking about family. 

"neither of us could possibly know if the warmth we shared with each other was the same or similar to 'the warmth of a loving family' the way it should be."

"but it was warmth, wasn't it?"

their love may be different than others but its still love, isn't it? I thought of my friends and how I considered them more my family than the people that raised me, family doesn't have to be a mom and a dad, kids and a white picket fence, it could just be us. and maybe I've blown this out of proportion, but that's how the scene made me feel. It reassured me  in a way nothing else has. the way i live and love may be different from what's considered "normal" but I still live and I still love. 

I wonder if the creator knows the influence they have, the ability to change lives. this game certainly changed mine. I have to say, it was just amazing, thanks for existing, thanks for making this game and sharing it with the world and sorry for the long review lol, this is me cutting it short ha
