i loved this! the story was... not better, that's not the correct word... deeper? as in, there was so much more to the characters and lore than i expected there to be. and i was pleasantly surprised! i expected it to just be a cute game about making friends, and while it is cute and it is about making friends, that's not all it is. great work! i'm currently playing the second game, will be letting you know about my thoughts once i'm done with that one :P
PS: to answer the question 'why would you even get this ending?' -> i'm a completionist. i HAVE to have all endings. it's a curse :')
