I really liked this game! Go play it before reading this review as it contains...

(spoilers)

Okay, so I am so glad to have played this game as well! I love that  the story is equal parts: hurt and comfort.

Jasper was tough to get to love immediately, mainly because of my father issues. So when I found out he also had deep seeded issues in relation to his tragic father figure it was a lot easier to have sympathy. He was so honest in his thoughts, I was worried he would keep it hidden from Megan forever but didn't of course.


Megan was a delight, a perfect angel you want to protect from the world.


I love the building of the scenes, Megan's little quirk of her saying the most disturbing stuff with a happy go lucky tone. The scene with the gyno where Megan tells Jasper to name the child if it's a boy was so well done. Especially for what it sets up!


Jasper asking the gyno to name the kid was pretty funny ngl you balance humor, and serious material so well.


The scene at the park as well as the comforting each other scene was my favorite. When Jasper comes in running and telling Megan the name he chose (I chose Benjamin btw)


It was such a sweet moment aghgfgjlkdjdl coupled with Megan knowing that Jasper would come around, because that was the man she married. So lovely! These two I am entirely sold on! (also they watch tiktoks together like my fiance and I- a match made in heaven hehe)

His turnaround was wonderful, but I of course knew what was to come and was heartbroken right alongside them.

Though it was necessary and painful, and Jasper saying it was because Benjamin could sense he wasn't going to be loved enough, it's such a leap but it's exactly how our emotions work in such horrible situations.

The end scene being a reflection of the opening scene was wonderful! I'm sure they had their little Minnie and she was loved, just as much as the one they lost.


Thank you for writing this with such tact and heart! I'm a huge fan, and shed a nice tear at the very end <3

Oh my god, Joy, this was so thorough, thank you so much!! (note to readers: this answer contains spoilers)

Yes, this was Jasper's biggest difficulty in writing: he's honestly quite selfish at the start of the story - an understandable selfishness, but selfishness all the same. So that's why the first part of the game is solely about him overcoming the ghost of his father, if I can say so.

And I love Megan too! She's light, funny, compassionate and yet she made my heart break the first time I troubleshot the whole game! But the balance of humour and tragedy was important (that is, I think, the main reason this game is waaaay lighter than HSL).

And Benjamin is a great name! I'm sure Megan and Jasper love their little Benjamin very much! And it was fun to write an actual married couple, since they have dynamics we rarely see in VNs (as we tend to focus on the start of a romance).

Yes, it is such a leap, but I think Jasper was trying to find reasons for this to happen... Because, in the end, although he knows there are no reasons behind such things happening, his heart still tries to find one, because he still doesn't understand, deep down, why they took his son away.

Ha ha, I headcanon Megan and Jasper having 4 or 5 kids, in a household full of love and laughs!

And thank you for your lovely review!!! I really love this story and these characters, so I'm glad you enjoyed them too!
