Hey! I finally finished the game!
So, I have to say the obvious: the art was magnficient, from sprites, to backgrounds, including CGs. The voice actors were excellent (the talk Shay and Chrys have at the end of the game, under the rain... geez!).
But being more of a writer than anything else, I have to say I was blown away by the writing, as I have a better grasp at the tools used to convey the story: I thought it was a bit slow-paced at first, but oh god: this is what this game needed, and I realised that only when I was engaged later in the storyline.
I adored how Chrys's anxiety was depicted. It felt grounded and realistic. I can't go into too much detail, since it's spoilers territory, but the weight of his past experience really showed through the game and he really was a fleshed out character. Shay was a very great character too, and I love how he became more and more attractive as he became less and less perfect.
This game is about something simple: love and relationships. Simple, you said? It really explores what it means to be in a romantic relationship, and it really did it magnificently. I especially loved the final discussion between Eli and Chrys. It was a really good one, definitely my favourite scene in the whole VN, and also one of my favourites scenes of all time in all the VNs I've played. The romance scenes were also extremely cute (the first kiss... the rain scene... the final scene... aaaaah!!!!). I also loved the dynamics in the friends' group: dating sims rarely focus on how cool having friends is, so it was very refreshing.
Long story short... I loved it, and that's saying the least. It really was an AMAZING game, and I definitely think people should check it out!!
Congrats to all the team, it was really amazing! But now guys, I'd like to reach out: if someday, you consider translating the game into other languages (which would be quite a lot of work, I imagine, haha!), and consider French as an option, don't hesitate to hit me up, I'd love to help: I really think more people should play this game, it really conveys great and healthy messages on relationships. But anyway, I'm looking forward to your next game!
