I expected the worst from the story in terms of it being somewhat brutal and exhausting emotionally, the thing is it wasn't, it's really enjoyable and full of many mixed emotionally momens, you expect guy to be big, serious and dangerous but nooo he's just kinda goofy and not dangerous at all. I personally went with Owen route and like I expected the worst possible outcome, I've already imagined the worst possible endings it might lead me to but while there were more tough moments like the point where his route ends now is very emotional, this vn isn't just depressing for most of the time and I love it. I actually can imagine Owen route with very happy ending and I didn't expect that, when starting this vn I was prepared for all nice characters to slowly die.
