hey! i bought the itchio bundle and found this game there. i decided i should give it a play because i love dating sims, but oh god did this blow me away.
i don't want to spoil too much in public comment but i went through a specific character's route and found that they struggled with their gender identity... it hit home so much. because i go through the exact same thing. something about presenting feminine, identifying partially with that but also something else? and being confused when you see yourself. it's such a confusing shifting thing, and i saw myself so much in them.
human nonbinary characters are a rarity these days, even with so many lgbt+ creators putting themselves out there. i love casual acceptance (referring to characters with their preferred pronouns/genders and thats it) but there's also something else about just.... Talking about gender experiences? and also finding someone and a community who accepts you and learning to grow from that, not just relying on them 24/7?
i'm so sorry for rambling in the comment i'm so so emotional and i just want to thank you again and again. this is a character i'll treasure deeply forever i think and i want to thank you for creating them.
