I loved this!
The characters were so fun to witness-- Rutile was a really endearing protag to follow, Alle kept me on my toes and guessing about what her situation was, and oh my gosh I love characters like the knight. The minigame for cooking was very cute, and the pacing and story was very enjoyable and engaging from beginning to end.
When I first saw Alle, I thought she was a guy and thought she was a really handsome man. And then I realized she's a lady and I was just oh my GOD that's a REALLY HANDSOME LADY-- I was so envious of Rutile lolol
I was surprised by the ending, and I only wish I got to see more of Alle's view of things, because I was surprised about the twist. When we first encountered Alle, I was initially intimidated by the "blood" splatter on her design but started to see her as a firm but kind figure in the story (and ngl, I started shipping the two hard too.) To see Alle's true nature about what happened to her family (or rather what she did to her family,) felt a little jarring to me, but I still liked the story and how it branched. Rutile taking on Alle's identity in one of the endings was absolutely fascinating to me!! even though I was post mourning what happened to Alle haha
The art was perfect, I liked the CGs in the endings, and pixel art style was really enjoyable to look at. This was a fun story and experience!
