i don't play visual novels often but this one is pretty good. i've currently done carl's route, and i think i'm half way through leo's. i didn't have very high expectations going into this so it surprised me how neatly written the character interactions are. there are some typos and some stuff bothered me pacing wise but its not that bad.
i also noticed some similarities to night in the woods (one of my favorite games) and i was wondering if its purely coincidental or if this game was inspired by it in any way
