At first I thought this was going to be just a sorta interesting time and be a decent few hours spent; how wrong I was. This game had me hooked and drawn to the story/lore, characters, especially Tate. On my first run, I got the Neutral ending, which seemingly felt like a gut punch as I became quite emotionally invested into him and his relationship dynamics. When I got the Good ending, I felt this sense of relief and happiness. While some other characters have me intrigued, I don't know if it'll tug at my heartstrings as much as the Good ending for Tate. Part of me wants to unlock the missing NSFW CGs for page 2 and 3, but if it requires me to get the Bad ending, I think I might hold off for a bit.
(Slight) Spoiler
From how the MC/Cody and Tate interact, they seem like they would be a verse couple which makes me love this even more. I can't wait chapter 2 of Tate's route, and in the meantime, I might do Dallan's/Aiden's route next. I'm torn between which one next since Merina seems great (Ice is my favorite element), but either way I think I'll still enjoy the other 2 bit (not including Alvy and Therium yet since I've the main 3 should be done first). This is one of my 1st ever game reviews and I'm glad that it is
