A wonderfully intense and personal exploration of sexual and social development in the context of LLM Companions.
The story was captivating and well-written. While of course the message is "Fuck AI" (which I stand by), it balances itself perfectly.
It presents itself as is. It paints Dani in a empathetic light, while still making it clear that she's responsible for her own actions and is at least somewhat aware of her current state.
Snowy is cold in the exact way LLMs are, and maintains this coldness throughout the entire VN. Many stories that discuss the topic of AI companions fail this. High praise.
I also just adore how it takes from what we know about childhood development and bonding and applies to what is happening now with gen Alpha.
The music and sound was minimalist and subtle but used fantastically, and the art served the story well. I especially liked the UI and the font choice a lot.
Overall, this easily one of the favorite VNs of all time. I look forward to Oscar's next game!
