A downloadable game for Windows.

Golly, where do we even start with this game. First of all, I want to say it is perfect. This is the exact kind of game we have been waiting for for SO long. It is charming, beautiful, with fantastic characters and a story that just keeps giving. I really can't speak enough the praises this game deserves and just how excited we are for more. To tackle it one step at a time, let us start with the big one. Robots. We fucking love robots. Specifically, we absolutely ADORE these robots!!! Every single part of them is beautiful. The flaws and the quirks and the good and the bad. All of it is remarkably crafted. And none of this is hyperbole. This is just our true feelings. A game hasn't touched our hearts so close in a good while. The atmosphere, the music. It is all just so good. It makes us happy! I could go off and write a purely objective review on this game but that defeats the purpose! This is a game about emotion; about finding yourself.  That is what makes it so beautiful, it entices you to join these characters in changing and growing, challenging existing assumptions you have about yourself and life and attempt to grow. This is a story about love and hurt. It is a story about hope. It is beautiful, and the fact that we have only seen the prologue means that even more greatness awaits. To digress from the story and characters for a moment, it is important to mention the gameplay. The game plays like your standard turn based rpg. It reminds us greatly of Earthbound, to a degree. The combat requires a sense of timing if you want to truly master it, like in Mother 3. It gives your actions more importance, not just "hit attack and you attack." But rather you are responsible for your success in battle, beyond just tactics. The personality changes Silence goes through promotes an ever changing battle style, where you have to adapt on the fly to whatever condition you are found in. The three different values your player has, will, charge, and SP are a bit confusing at first. But eventually you will get the hang of it, the game gives a appropriately lengthy tutorial to help you experiment and figure it out on your own terms. I suppose I will leave this review here. I imagine I will edit it (if I can) to further my thoughts on the matter. I just wish for the creator to know that it has thoroughly touched our heart with this game :3 please keep up the fantastic work. Your world is amazing and we cannot wait to see more of it

Edit 1 - I FORGOT ABOUT THE GENDER STUFF HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THAT. It was handled remarkably well. Brought me back to 7th grade where I felt so isolated and alone thinking about who I was and why I felt so wrong all the time. That was one of the many moments that made me cry, that scene outside the bathroom

Edit 2- It is 2 am when I am writing this because I just can't stop thinking about the game. I know no one will prolly ever read this and I'm just speaking to no one but...thank you for making this. Genuinely. I couldn't begin to express how much seeing characters like me has affected us. How much seeing you make THIS has inspired us to create and flesh out our own world and story. I'm gonna cry if I keep writing haha so I will leave this review here. Thank you, again, we really can't state how beautiful all of this is to us
