Okay so after playing the demo ages ago I've been waiting for this game to come out with so much excitement. I played it all through in one go because it's just so good and honestly couldn't stop. By the time I finished all the routes (well I think all the routes anyway) I was craving more! I'm probably going to play them all again in a few days because wow! (Also I'm Aussie so it was even better playing a game set in my own country!)
Now this might get **SPOILERY** (for those who don't want minor things spoiled maybe don't read the rest of this review lol)
I love that there was a confirmed bisexual character and asexual character! Being bisexual myself I was like yes! Representation! It also helped make the the multiple routes way more believable and natural. Flowed so nicely. The asexual exploration was so lovely and the honest discussion the two characters have about it felt very natural and supportive. I also like that the "wrong" decisions in those aspects were true to the ace characters feelings because it's true, they wouldn't want that stuff forced on them after saying they don't want it.
I like how Gerum was adaptable to each love interest without losing the essence of who he is. It was really really well done. The way he interacts with Ao, Hong Yang and MC shows different sides and allows to cater to different players likes. I personally loved it all.
The art style is also very cool. I loved the CGs! The Ao one in the court yard was great, I had a good chuckle at that scene. The CG of Hong Yang on the Sunday of the route was honestly (ehem) very nice ;). The Emily one in the hallway was so sweet! Loved all those moments. The character designs are really unique too and I'm a big fan of them since they weren't super tropey (nothing wrong with tropes I just love how this game seemed to turn tropes on their head lol)
The dialogue was also really natural. I was laughing a lot while reading. Especially the moments where characters were just blunt. The flustered moments were also the best.
Every route and pairing felt right and natural. Even the one where Gerum wasn't involved at all. It made sense! Was totally happy with every outcome. Even MC's decisions when you didn't pick her route. She's such a sweetheart.
Sorry if this is long, just as a creator myself I know how valuable feedback is, I could honestly go on and on about all the things I love about this game. I would love to see sequels, honestly would donate all the money possible to see more! I'd love to see how their relationships progress! Thank you for creating such a fun, interesting and beautiful game.
(The only buggy issue I came across other than the CG mentioned about the spring roll scene already, was every route I finished ended in saying "now you've go Ao smitten with you try the others" even when it wasn't Ao's route. No biggy just thought I'd let you know)
Also it would be cool if there was a menu that you got little tokens or pics for every route you finished so you know whether or not you got all the routes. Again, no biggy, just always think that it's cool seeing what you've completed.
Again though, great game, I'm a really big fan! Thank you for creating.
