Your wife dies for emotion points. Doesn't matter of what, or what you do.

Ask her to get snacks rather than come straight home from the grocery? She fucking dies of covid, despite being young and explicitly having no other health problems.

Fail to get her vitamins, masks, an extended prescription, wipes, and five other things? Suggest them in the wrong order so that she cuts you off before you get to everything? Whoops, she dies of covid again.

Get past that? Miss a doctor's appointment and she dies of a fucking brain tumor.

Get past that? Apparently Light Yagami has her number, because at the end she dies of heart failure no matter what you do. No way to prevent it. This is the best ending you can get.

There are five endings: in three of them your wife dies as described above. In the other two you reject her and she can be safely presumed to die without you knowing, because she's as sickly as a Victorian maiden.

It's not sad, it's just silly. It lessens the emotional impact, enough so that I don't even remember the characters' names at this point.

You can make choices as a player, yes! But you have no real agency to carve out your fate. Despite the art and dialogue being of excellent quality, that makes the whole game sour.

This review isn't kind, so I'm sorry. I liked Angela's other stuff. I love most lesbian VNs, and it's plain to see the amount of effort put into it. But I still really don't like this one, because you weren't able to do anything. Links are to TVTropes, beware.

I don't think you're giving the creator enough credit. This game isn't about "winning," it's about dealing with loss and how loss can affect a person in different situations. Everyone dies, but when you have more time with them, it is easier to get closure. I think this game is a beautiful metaphor for COVID, because a lot of people's futures are being but short, either because of death or because the world has changed so dramatically. When August's future with May that she had planned is taken away, it was much harder for her to move on. 

I also felt a bit cheated that May died from a brain tumor simply because I didn't want to take a doctor's appointment away from someone else who needs it, but I had to realize that this is a reality: sometimes in life, you try to make all the right decisions, and bad stuff still happens. You can wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, and plan for every eventuality and still get COVID. This is my interpretation of the game, anyway.
