finally writing a review for this game because it's been hard to collect my thoughts. but since getting the game (only two weeks ago!) i have become so absolutely enamoured with this game and the world within. even within d0, there is so much to explore and discover in this game and it really feels like the game reacts dynamically to the way you approach it. not gonna spoil any specifics but i love that you can get unique dialogue or interactions for so many small things you might do that don't actually impact the overall story (or maybe it does) but nonetheless makes the world feel more alive and gives the game such high replay value (i've played through the whole game five times at this point i think? excluding replaying scenes to catch things i missed). also the way the game presents information to the player and will answer a question while raising five more really exposes how much you don't know about the world whilst making you feel rewarded in understanding more than you did before. really makes me want to keep learning about this world! there are clues and information scattered literally everywhere, even in things that seem insignificant. not to mention the gorgeous sprites and backgrounds, the incredible soundtrack and the really fun (and at times very tense) character interactions. overall, the atmosphere and vibe of this game feels so cohesive and really helps make this world believable and unique. cannot wait to see what comes out of the rest of the game as it releases :3
wanna add also that the devs seem like such lovely people and you can really feel their passion from their interactions with people in the discord server :)
44/10 game truly an all-timer
