This is a cute yet somber VN about the falling out of two lovers. I'm going to start out with what I didn't like about it. The whole situation about the Earth ending because the sun is blocked out is a little confusing. How is it possible to end up in a situation where the Earth becomes uninhabitable, while the Moon is a perfect place for humans to live on? The VN's also inconsistent about whether the Earth is going to die out or if it's salvageable; it's just being abandoned by the government, because if it's the former, then Stoffle's motivations for staying behind are very weak and confusing. I would have much preferred it if it were more about the government moving to the moon for colonization reasons, think the Manifest Destiny mindset IN SPACE, rather than out of necessity. That way, the story would have been more about the conflict between Rover and Stoffel having conflicting goals in mind, rather than one wanting to escape the apparent apocalypse while the other wants to do something about it. Speaking of which, it's annoying to hear Stoffel talk about wanting to do something about the planet when all he does to help is work at a gas station, especially when his boyfriend is building a literal rocket that can fly to the moon, which is housing several people. Maybe if he did things like help set up a new government for the remaining people on the planet, house people who might be struggling, help supply renewable energy to the planet to keep the lights on, help people create sustainable oxygen systems that can go on without the sun, or even providing emotional support towards other people (I might be missing some other issues that'd come from a sunless and these are probably flawed solutions, but I'm just providing examples) then I'd believe him more. But he doesn't, so it ends up sounding empty. Also, if you could just build a rocket to the moon, why doesn't Rover help other people who couldn't go on the big rocket to make their own rocket? Maybe share vital information or help scavenge for materials. Eh, I'm overthinking this WAY too much. I also don't particularly like Stoffel's sprite. I don't know, it just doesn't look like a badger to me, and it's not that appealing to me. One last thing is that the flashbacks aren't properly distinguished from the present, which can cause moments of confusion.
Despite everything I just said, I actually really enjoyed this one. The characters are pretty likable, each of them having their own moments where they're pretty entertaining. I like the cartoony art style and the expressions the characters make. There's a certain charm to VN, with little things such as Sam's ladder moving alongside her and Ozzy's dramatic sprite adding to the experience. The visuals in the ending sequence also look pretty good. The thing I like the most about this story is the vibes. It's incredibly low-key and has a mix of optimism and dread that works quite well. I also like the different branches and how they change up the story, although I ended up preferring Sam's branch by a considerable amount. Overall, a good VN I'd recommend, despite all the issues I mentioned.
