hi, so i just finished the game, well what there is and i just decided to give my thoughts on the game so far. 

okay so, i'll just start with the must confusing part of the game for me, money. unlike other visual novels, you can only get money from your closet. sounds simple and less mindless wondering, but i wasn't told about this system by the game really. (i will admit there's a chance i missed it from the start of the game, and doesn't help that the game only starts asking for money way deep into it.) i found myself wondering around the house confused for a few hours, before asking online. once i knew what was happening, i realized i had really bad luck considering that went to the closet 12 times before that.

but even when you do have money, i didn't really even needed it. there was always an option to have the characters to pay for themselves and it never affected your relationship with them. honestly though, the game didn't ask about money and saying i didn't have any when shopping with Rae, i don't think it would've matter. it was fun just experiencing things with the characters and getting the money didn't change anything. i only seek it out because i like 100%ing games. so if i had to make a change here, i actually would prefer to remove the money system and just say your wallet is always full, because it seems to take away from the game and what makes it special. the story and the characters. but if the dev wants to keep it, try to make it more useful, and easy to find and/or understand in game only.

now that was literally my only problems with the game, everything else i'm really happy with. in fact i was really surprised by how well arounded the characters were. i found myself actually caring about them and wonder what they're up to like they're actually people i know. (doesn't help that i have seemly relationships IRL lol) it shock me, because of how rare that is for me, being a writer and director. i kind of wanna ask if i can see they're character profile sheets or something to improve my own lol. 

anyway, thanks for reading my quick review and i wish the game best of luck, i really loved it and i can't wait for the finished product. i'll probably come back to it in a year. also for those wondering it took 4 months for me and Rae is my fav.
