This is a wonderful story wrapped around an engaging RPG core, and it's just long enough to make for a satisfying journey. I especially enjoyed the narrative contrast between the two main couples. Karuna and Aurelie danced around each other for years before being painfully separated, and you feel that heartache all through the game. Meanwhile, Chisa and Merel are bound from the very beginning, and only grow closer (and more adorable) as the story unfolds.
I also love the decision to go with an all-female cast (the main villain included) and the easy confidence that the game shows in that decision. I wish more RPGs did this.
I do think Lynette is a bit of a weak spot. She's well-written as a fanatic with anger issues, but although she does grow somewhat by the end of the game, her role is fairly small and she never quite became sympathetic to me. She hints at a painful history beyond what was actually shown; I would have liked to see more of her.
Thank you for making this. It was exactly what I was looking for.
