thank you so much for telling me about your mc i have been endeared... people who think they're cool but are in fact a bit of a loser (light-heartedly) are so so funny to me LOL if you'd like, please tell me more about him! does he have a name ?
ooh i definitely recommend playing ADW! allele is much darker in tone so it'll be a bit of a different experience but the game has a loootttt of charm. if you like found family dynamics, seeing people change and grow as they become more comfortable with themselves/with you , battle systems (WITH ANIMATED SKILLS!!!! JEN IS SO COOL), and people doting on you LOL, i think you would enjoy it. the world is very intricate and none of the characters feel two-dimensional at all, and if you don't want to romance anyone, the game never forces romance upon you; maxing out your bonds with each character platonically feels just as important to your relationship with them as romancing them. it's a very very comforting game while also having a really compelling story. i'm not exaggerating when i say i've thought of it almost every day since i've played it a year ago !!! it had such an impact on me that it made me start drawing again !
'eve,' who i mentioned in my mc's reference sheet and the little sketch i made for justaonegirl, is also a character from ADW lol!
