It was so cute and the artstyle is adorable
It was worth the time playing it
> There was a platonic good ending, and a neutral ending.
> A AI that is agender makes more sense and so, helped me get in the plot at first.
> The lineart absolutely doesn't hurt the eye.
I tend not to be able to play through VNs because of anatomical incorrect drawings, and that's pretty frustrating, so I'm very glad when I get to find someone who not only wrote a theme that I love but also has put artistically smooth design on it.
> The narration is colorful, relatable, cosy and still, it has lore. Lore that we don't like drowning under. Which seems to be rare for SF stories.
> The characters are attaching enough to keep reading
(> I'm struggling to try to remain objective and not give this an additional star just because one of the important characters is a cute AI. Yeah, that's not a serious positive point. But still.)
SPOILERS and whinning
> At some point fo the plot, I thought that it would maybe grown into something extre beyond the dating sim, like some sleuth game where you find out secrets (but that's only my own fantasies so yeah), and I was a bit frustrated that we don't get answers about:
- what was Soren's initial directives (it's pretty important I think?)
- who his creator was (not a human apprently, but what then? Cyborg, Alien, AI? Did he destroy the sector with Soren's help? They seem to be a very wicked person, manipulative, sadistic, etc. To the point of a Devil ex Machina...possible.
- what's the relationship between Dex and Owen since Owen often seems flirty (thought we could choose friendship with Dex and romance with Owen, or a romantic threesome. wow, that would have been. so. cool)
> personnaly I can't easily get into a plot where an AI is supposed to be sentient without an explanation of, how. In some stories, the pygmalion / narcissus thing works on its own becausee the ai's core behavior (beyond its code) reflects their creator. But when the creator is supposed to be very different from the AI, like, an antagonist...well then, it seems like the AI's consciousness came out of nowhere, and it ejects me from the immersion. But I'm a metaphysics and AI fic nerd so I'm very picky, don't mind my opinion too much.
> It would have been cool to see a list of the ending we reached.
It look like there are more things I'm whinning about compared to the things I liked, but it's wrong: the overall exprience was mostly positive.
I'm glad I got to play this.
