This was super cute!! I still have to play Adriel's route but gosh, Sandra's route is really sweet and endearing 🥰
I loved how Sandra and Doug got to know each other better through their outings (the Barbie movie thing was adorable and hilarious xD) and it made me so happy that you could choose to have an ace romance between them 😭💞
I especially really like the fact that they mentioned (if you choose the romance route) "I'm not totally lovestruck but I love you and want to know you better". I don't see that a lot in romance and it made their relationship even more special in my eyes 💕
Hi Pri, thanks for trying this game out! I'm glad you had fun with Sandra's route (and would be curious to know your thoughts about Adriel's when/if you end up playing it loool, it is a vastly different one!).
Yes, that was the concept: getting to know your boring ace co-worker thanks to rendezvous, and it was funny to think of events and quirks to give the characters (the Barbie thing was calling to me, how could I refuse...). And yes, the idea of being able to have an ace romance was very important to me, as I wanted to create fluffy ace content, especially after The Day Being Ace Made Him Stronger lol
And yes, it didn't feel natural to have them be love-struck the way Peter and Amanda were in WTWBYA for example, so it felt natural to have them having a less intense approach to their feelings and letting the player imagine how they would grow! I was worried it would come off as unsatisfying though so I'm glad you appreciated it and that it made it special!
Thanks for playing and leaving your thoughts, Pri, I always appreciate them!!
