Man, that was just the right amount of cute and wholesome with a dash of nostalgia. (okay, i lied. the cute went off the scale in the good ending ~~and I might have teared up a bit~~) (they're adorable 💕)

Love the estranged friends-to-lovers set-up with all the implications. You've got the hope of regaining something lost on one hand and the fear of being abandoned again on the other. And that creates a real conflict for Amanda and makes her a relatable protagonist (imo). I also like what you did with Peter's reasons for leaving; the build-up was there and it fell into place in a satisfying way. 👌

Also, I really feel that true romance lies in the comfort of being able to be yourself around the other person without the fear of judgment and you captured that with Amanda and Peter's special interests. (and the way they talked about combining both was very entertaining 🤭)

The art, music, and the GUI are all lovely (and the option to choose between the sprite styles! what a cool feature 👌). Very charming overall!

Thanks Hiro for your feeback!

I wanted the good ending to feel like an extra-giga-good ending!!! And yes, my babies are adorable!!!!!!

I'm glad you found Amanda relatable, and you explained very well what I tried to do with her, haha, since she's the character who goes through the most character development in game. And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the reasons behind Peter's disappeearance, it permitted me to tackle topics I've been wanting to tackle (maybe I'll do something more detailed someday though, haha).

Thanks for noticing I tried to combine their respective interests, haha! It was important for me, as it shows they are really connecting, and that their souls are entwining!

And I'll admit the "choose sprite style" option wasn't planned at first, haha, it's here because we weren't sure the shojo style would be ready for release (but it is, so yay!!), but in the end, I'm glad it is a feature, it's pretty cool to have it!!

And thank you again for your feedback, it always means a lot, and I'm glad you had a sweet experience!
