THIS WAS SO ADORABLE FGHFGHFGHFGHFH I feel like Lawrence was basically "two bros chillin' in a hot tub" personified...
I really liked the "verticality" (for lack of a better word) of the composition? With how Lawrence stands and lies down, it's very inventive, and I don't think I've seen something quite like it in a VN before. Lawrence's inner monologue is really adorable, natural, and pretty relatable.
The art is super clean - I've always loved Hiro's clean cell shading, and I think it works ESPECIALLY well for this game with the clean and bright, almost pastel, aesthetic. The crisp, slightly textured speech bubbles are a perfect match. The start menu is adorably composed with the doodle/pixel effects, and I really loved the little clickable easter egg!
===SPOILERS===
LMAO I NEVER EXPECTED LAWRENCE TO BE CHARACTERIZED THIS WAY, but honestly it pretty much perfectly lines up with his characterization from Quaint - he seems like a guy who was REALLY repressed and also has a pretty hard time picking up on social cues (judging from his gym outings with Q). It's good progress to see how he realizes that Milo wasn't the problem, his family was, and how he actively rebels against them (Vale being his partner in crime in this regard is pretty adorable!)
I love how nonchalant Vale was throughout the entire thing, too. In the end, his actions are JUST ambiguous enough that the audience is ALSO confused as to what their relationship is (the hair playing is pretty romance coded, but I've also played with my friends' hair, so honestly I'm at a loss...)
In the end this game could be summed up as "Lawrence slowly starts to realize that being bi is a thing" and it's pretty glorious. I'm honestly REALLY hoping that we see more from this couple. I enjoyed it a lot, fantastic work!
