I am amazed at the quality of this game. The art? Amazing. The fact that it's fully voiced AND you can choose the gender of your LI? Mindblowing. The narrator a Sapphie's voices both are so nice to listen to, too... The menus are cute and easy to navigate, too.
And the story... man, what a story. It resonated with a younger, sadder me and was a book definition of heartwarming. I enjoyed it so much, I know I will replay it more than once, even if I already got all the endings. If you enjoy hurt/comfort and yandere tropes, you definitely should play this one.

Ahh, thank you so much for all your kind words <3 It really means a lot :3 And I’m super glad you enjoyed the game!
I’ve been trying really hard to include the option to pick the LI’s gender in all of my projects for a while now because I feel like it’s just nice to have that extra bit of inclusivity :3 It sort of stems from me being a picky player xD Because years ago, there were lots of games I would think looked cool, but if all the romance options were fem only, or the protagonist was masc only, then I just wouldn’t play because I would rather go find a different game that suits my preferences x3
Sometimes, I do regret having both options because it basically = double the amount of work xD Cutting 2 lots of the same voice lines can be extremely time-consuming, as can testing both versions work correctly >.< And then when it comes to paying VAs, it also means the cost doubles, haha. In the end though, I am always glad that I put in the extra effort to include both :3
It also means the world to me that you would describe the story as a book definition of heartwarming ^-^ It’s extra scary releasing something like this that is more personal. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely worried about how it might be viewed >.< It’s just that everyone’s experiences with this sort of thing are so varied and unique to each person that I was worried I might offend or upset someone somehow.
So yeah, I’m glad that it resonated with you in a way :3
Thanks so much for playing it + for taking the time to write such a sweet comment <3
