This game came highly recommended, and, after playing it in its entirety, I understand why: the cutscenes are adorable and beautifully animated (the sleeping sprites!), the minigame mechanics are tons of fun, and the dialogue is spot-on. Each character has such a distinct voice, and their conversations feel fluid and natural—more like real conversations than scripted dialogue.
Most of all, the game shines in its characterization. I loved getting to know more about each of the four characters, how far they’ve come, and how their experiences inform the way they interact with one another. Some of the backstories were painfully relatable (I teared up more than once playing it); others reminded me of people I love. I found myself deferring the ending to spend a bit more time with the characters. All in all, this is such a beautiful and heartwarming adventure with the kinds of queer representation I would have loved seeing as a child. Thank you for making it!
