This visual Novel is brilliant, it makes me cry just thinking about it sometimes. It certainly had me reflecting on my own childhood and I find myself relating to Cove on such a personal level as I found myself in his exact position when I was his age. Though, unfortunately, minus the support structure and I went through multiple moves throughout my childhood.
Slight Spoilers: when Cove reflects on his childhood and talks about not knowing what things would be like, like what the bed he'd be sleeping in or the table he'd eat breakfast at, it honestly put into words a feeling that I've experience deeply but never had the words to express it as not knowing was almost a default for me growing up.
The relationships are so well done and are excellent examples of communication and openness between family and friends. Which makes everything just so wholesome and sweet and safe. And the themes of moving forward are such an encouraging notion and highlights the importance of accepting the past and moving on to a better future no matter how scary the unknown of what the next stage of your life may be.
Thank you for making such a sweet reflective game. I've never related to a piece of media so deeply before and I will definitely be playing the wedding DLC when it comes out. Though I will rarely replay this game because it makes me cry a lot T-T
