Okay!
First off, I adore the character designs like Louisa is just so cute in her neat white dress that changes to a dark color once she breaks up which is a neat detail that went over my head the moment it happened, I was too busy worrying about the entire breakup thing.
I had hope for their relationship at the start, watching her slight obsession with him, the bitter tone of her memory, the warm feelings that she had, it was so nice to watch the start of it and how it progressed, despite the many signs that it wasn't gonna be, and the ghosts that represented her many doubts and voices were super cute, even if they caused a many most of her problems like, she got distant to Ruben because she listened even if she really didn't want to do it, made her starve herself... Cute little voices of malice that harm her in numerous terrible ways...
Seeing her suffer, enduring the pains of roaming the streets of Paris, starving and cold... was utterly heart breaking. AND RUBEN (somewhat justifiably) THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS FAKING IT-
Which kinda made me mad... she did a lot for him, though in ways that didn't really help if you look at it in a rational and sensible way, but it's the thought and emotion that counts for me and that has some merit to be considered. It's nice that she met those helpful strangers who helped her...
I think you, dear developer, have the unmatched skill of conveying the events and emotions within your story, which was just lovely, the burning passion of love, the despair, the self-doubt and criticism and the suffering of Louisa through her break-up journey.
And I absolutely love the ending, like Hope being represented as Louisa in a white dress, telling our dear protagonist to let it go, to move on, not berating her like the other voices, but listening and explaining to her, logically and rationally which I just find to be so sweet.
It's such a lovely game and I thank you for making it!
I'm sorry if I went on a bit of a rant (the post looks really long) I just found this game really nice...
