Wow. I had high expectations because we've all played the amazing 'date with death' but this game still blew me away. At first, I was surprised by the choice to put the text on the side and make the MC so prominent (they're usually more hidden to self insert), but Sage CARRIES this game with her witty remarks.
All the characters are very complex and loveable- I had to keep covering my mouth to hide my laughter from my family. Even though it was just an intro to the characters, it was still really emotionally endearing with realistic relationships built. I will say, like others have noted, it did get text heavy at some points and I was just fast forwarding to skip it.
I don't normally like forced gameplay in visual novels but this was very immersive and didn't compromise the storytelling at all.
I need Florian in a way that is concerning to feminism.
