I will admit, it took me this long to figure out that itchio has an actual review feature, but I figure most people are either like me and took a while to realize, or are going to read through comments more than the reviews. So, I'm still going to leave a blurb in the comments about how great this game is. In general, Here for Sweethearts is a sweet (pun absolutely, if poorly, intended) story building off of the creator's previous work, and utilizing the intertwined stories well, while still creating something uniquely interesting. The player isn't given much control over the MC beyond the initial selection and naming them, although that makes sense in a game with clear and well-defined end goals. (I'd also like to note that, just like in every previous game, the creator does a great job of giving the MC personality from the very beginning through a unique character aspect, something which is common throughout all their games, and is a great way to attach an audience to a new character. If you're at all interested in writing, these are fabulous exemplars of how to give not just a story, but a character too, a hook!)
Getting a bit of Theo's history prior to Cemetery Mary was absolutely fun, although the self-contained chapters leave something to be desired. I think that's wholly to be expected, though- after all, the game is subject to more additions, as development continues! Character interaction was, as always, a delight (one might say a D. Light) and the frog is the best favorite character. I certainly might be wrong, here, but I get the vague idea that there's something deeper to be explored with this school, and it seems like the game is shaping up to work that in with the stories of Reginald, Crowven, and Mary from years past. The game is relatively short right now, but as it's fleshed out, I get the idea that Here for Sweethearts is a game with a lovely amount of potential, and I am so excited to see where it, and other projects, go.
