I enjoyed this game quite a bit!
The art is charming, the characters are surprisingly deep for such a short game, and the music is very well composed; it did a perfect job of delivering an atmosphere befitting of such an uneasy, mysterious carnival. I look forward to playing it again when the voiced update releases. There was quite a lot of creative use of sprite animations as well—for example, bobbing an entire sprite up and down to simulate nodding—which I thought was quite clever. Lots of fun visuals with the menus and menu transitions as well.
It's hard to pick a favorite LI, they're all charming in their own way. Micah is a delight (and canonically a trans man like myself which means the world to me) I felt some accomplishment making Lark smile (even if it was going to happen by virtue of playing his route anyway) and Aurel is genuinely sweet. However I think I enjoyed Lark's route the best, which surprised me—based on the character designs, (which are all fantastic, by the way) I had expected Micah or Aurel to be more my type. (and granted, Aurel is also my type, and comes at a close second) Can't judge a book by it's cover, as they say.
I will say, I almost passed up this game because of the lack of ability to change the player character's pronouns—because while neutral pronouns are certainly better than being forced into a set of gendered pronouns that aren't accurate for me (as is the case with a large majority of VNs) as a trans person who does not use neutral pronouns, it still often feels like misgendering to be referred to with they/them, and I felt that a bit with this game. I do still wish I could change the pronouns, however I'm glad I decided to play it despite my reservation, since it turned out to be a fun time!
