When I read the description I knew this game was going to be good, but I wasn't prepared for the absolute masterpiece you've created.
Actually leaving this comment a little after playing because I was so blown away by this incredible story that I didn't really know how put my feelings into words (honestly I still don't think I can get everything out here, there's so much I love). The contrast between the incredibly bleak setting and the suprisingly wholesome relationship between Buki and The Flesh (both incredibly written characters that I now utterly adore) somehow blended perfectly together. I was enthralled right away, all the little details in the art-style, the UI and the sprites really helped bring it all the life. And it was interesting seeing how many hints were dropped to bigger reveals early on, sometimes in a way that I didn't even realise was a hint. A big one for me that had my jaw on the floor was Buki's design. When I first saw the screenshots and started playing the game I didn't question why her design would be so exaggeratedly feminine; I just figured "Oh the artist is using a stylised design, that looks cool" and didn't think more about it. But then the Flesh started making comments about it... and then we started learning more about the weapons director... god that realisation hit me so hard, I love it when a character design actually ties into their story and it made me feel even more connected to Buki. ALSO THAT ENDING! That absolutely destroyed me, yet it oddly made sense considering how the setting had been built up throughout.
Utterly amazing, I am definitely going to be replaying this more than once because this is one of the best stories I have ever read.
