I can tell a lot of thoughts and care went into making this game. At first, I was a bit baffled by the stark difference between the Sebastian in the menu page and the Sebastian we met in the gameplay. It didn't bother me that much though, but the menu-page Sebastian sure left an impression that he might be onto some really dark and probably disgusting kinks. However, I was oddly relieved to be proven wrong eventually. (Still felt this way even after reading the content notes and being aware of its possible contents, but it was a pleasant surprise regardless.)
This is the first time I feel extremely satisfied that the love interest doesn't turn out to be an asshole. As someone who is used to complex romanceable characters, Sebastian truly feels like a fresh breath of air. He's an actual sweetheart! He laughs very prettily too, so I totally get MC's obsession with every little noise and sound he makes because man, I would be too! There's this specific sense of pride and satisfaction you'll only get when you managed to make a calm and composed person finally breaks their well-held restraint and I felt it just as much as MC did. It was truly fantastic to experience this again after a long time of not finding a proper game to fully immerse myself in.
As for the gameplay itself, it was simple and straightforward, which I really appreciate a lot. Visual-wise, everything looked good. I got used to Sebastian and he grew on me a lot quicker than I expected. (Personally, I think he looked better without his glasses.) The BGMs are okay, though I think it could be improved especially during the steamy scene. It's hard to find (let alone create) pieces that can capture and accompany sensual scenes without overpowering the story that's being told. Great effort on using original OSTs instead of slapping on recycled BGMs though! The story itself is perfect, and I would like to express my gratitude to the writer(s) involved in writing this masterpiece. You've managed to capture the awkwardness of the whole thing from the get-go, and at the end where we are rewarded with a wholesome debrief and aftercare moment between the two, while also making the players hooked on reading more to find out what will potentially happen in the future.
I was bummed when I realized the game has reached the end. I thought to myself, "Aw man, that was so much fun!" I was hoping we could at least get a glimpse of the next morning scene or a teaser for the next chapter. I'm not sure if there's more in development for this game as of late, but I would love to see more of Sebastian and MC's relationship dynamics. There's only a few games out there that can actually touch on healthy and consensual BDSM, so to find a gem like this one is definitely revitalizing.
Thank you again for creating this game!
Much love,
Hee.
