Nice character designs all around - the soft watercolor-y shading works well, and Plum is  the star of the show. Some of the bar encounters feel a little off, but the number of distinct characters is impressive, and having things set in France is a neat change of pace. Félicitations!

I love Plum soooo much and the other character art is so cute!! Pretty short and sweet slice-of-life read!

Thank you so much ! Glad to see meet another cat lover <3

I really like the cute art style and graphics! But I just feel the need to mention that the story ... is definitely not as cute and wholesome as the art style. For one thing, the writing could benefit from some editing as there were many grammatical issues, missing punctuation, and poor sentence structure. However, more importantly, the main character smokes and drinks in attempt to fit in (there's no option to avoid it) and ends up fawning for a guy she barely even knows, which just really isn't a message I can agree with and makes her somewhat unlikable as a character for having no self respect imo. She's also hit on by a creep at the bar, which I wish sexual harassment was mentioned in the "warnings" section, as that's kind of a trigger for me personally (I seriously just wish I had been able to punch him at least xD). I really can't stand jerks like that.
Anyway, I hope this doesn't sound too harsh or anything, I just felt the need to comment. Especially since I feel that the look of this one is very misleading imo.

Thank you very much for your feedback, we are sorry about the lack of warning, we have updated our game page !

Lovely game, the kind that leaves you with a warm and cozy feeling. Visuals are super cute and the soundtracks were great. It might need a little more polish (esp for sound effects and game page) but overall great job!
