Somehow, I found the story very "raw" for lack of a better word... Rose's introspection felt very natural and authentic, and it really felt like thoughts a real person would have, and her analysis of her "friendship" with Mariella was also human. I also really enjoyed the prose in this one, it was quite beautiful! And for the theme, I think we all ended up in relationships we tried our best to enjoy, but didn't, and it's always difficult to face it and accept the situation doesn't bring us happiness.
I also loved the GUI, and Mariella's design, she looks beautiful! Thanks a lot for making this game!
