this game had me in a chokehold. 100000/10
spent my entire day (and night) going through the story. like one commenter said, it's a bit slow at first, but gradually the plot builds up.
You can tell how much i adored the characters when I tell you i aimed straight for the true ending, and closed the game. (i didn't want my heart broken T_T) I CRIED, okay???? CRIED. When the plot unraveled near the end, I had to struggle to not to cry. The words, man... the narration was really something.
(sometimes it was hard for me to grasp the descriptions, but other times, the narration felt very poetic. and that made it all the more charming.)
At first i only pressed on for more Edward/Clara moments, but then the plot progressed and I genuinely felt at the edge of my seat, as if one little mistake could doom the characters.
And the art????? it was scrumptious. I kinda wish we had sprites of other characters. but this didn't stop me from getting immersed! (I looked forward to seeing the CGs because they were so so soft and beautiful)

i kept mentally screaming for Edward to get away from the knife in the end like bruhhhhhhhh
