The story is engaging and I love the writing. All the characters are likeable in their own way, they feel like real people, and they're very distinct from one another. I love learning more about their backgrounds. The MC can use the pronouns you'd prefer, and  there's more variation in the choices than in other games so it feels like MC can follow more than one path. If you're not sure whether to play this game or not, oh my god, do yourself a favor and play it.
