This is one of the best games I've ever played! I was streaming it to my freinds and voice acting because I stumbled upon an animatic for the game and thought it might be cool and OH MY GOD best decision ever ( This has become one of my Hyperfixations !!! I wish it was more popular so I had more people to yap about it too!!)
My personal playthrough ended up being around 38-39 hours because I was insistent on checking out pretty much EVERYTHING but it was SUCH A GOOD PLAY I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!
10/10 story and characters, there's a lot of good banter and personalities and interactions! I could watch the charaters talk back and forth for hours and not get bored, every chatater has interesting perspectives and few that all mingle in fascinating ways!
10/10 Art, the pixel art for the game and overworld is very appealing to me but the scenes and chataters profiles while talking are where the games art direction really shine! Each expression is full of life and emotion, not to mention there's a lot of original ideas and chatater designs!
10/10 inclusion! I'm pansexual and a Demi-girl myself, and I'm very aware of lots of diffrent identities, but this game taught me about new views I didn't even know about! It was so cool! I love learning about others and new ways other express themselves so it was such a interesting look into other representation!
There are a few typos through out the game but nothing particularly bad, and the game is still very understandable, and it doesn't take away from anything, I would also suggested playing with always run on, as the charaters base walking speed felt slow to me? But the always sprint mode definitely fixed that!
The game handled the serious topics it represents in very respectful ways and offers any warnings for any triggering topics, this is one of the most indepth and respectful games Ive ever played.
I recently got the side story and Me and my friends are currently voice acting Exe saves the Holidays and we're having so much fun, We've all really fallen in love with the characters we voice and how they banter, I would definitely recommend checking out that game aswell!
( Friend program is so entertaining to voice, their internal dialog is always so interesting)
( Water bottle sweep!!! Me and all my homes lobe water bottle >v<)
( Exe, is so cool and werid, sighhhh!!!)
I'll leave it at that to avoid any spoilers but I have so much to say about all of the characters!! I'll leave that out of here for now though!
Overall, If your not sure if you want this game you should try it! It's free, has lots of content, a very genuine story, likeable characters, good art and lots of inclusion, trust me it's worth it!
(I made an itch account to review this because the game was so good and I need the world to know)
