I felt the emotions so sincerely I cried while voice acting it out loud 😭 I completely forgot people were in the same room as me. I was immersed in the story - in Gad's life - and in turn what should've been. I also love the changes in facial expressions that was timed so well with the writing pauses. Everyone involved in the making of the game deserve an applause 👏

I'm a sucker of great (lowkey gay) tropes, and this game just has it good. Great direction with a distinct art style. Although I knew how the story may end right away, I was still amazed by how well implemented each facet of the game was. The music is lovely. I had to go through the music box and credits to search for their source because it fully immersed me in the intensity of this story. Can't wait to play what else this studio has planned! 

Went into this game relatively blind and was taken aback that there was a "safeword" needed! This is how I know the creators wanted to take care of their audience. Heavy content was well-handled and they did not back away from the severities. (I'll just talk about my top 2 LIs so I'm not a wall of text in the comments lmao)

I was endeared by Francesco's supposed ignorance and honest demeanor. His character design is beautiful, and his chapter was the most unexpected of the rest! I blushed a little oo- I was sad that I got one of his bad endings on the first go and desperately searched onto how to get his best one (I did eventually thank goodness). 

I gotta hand my heart to Kier, however. A little (big) thief whose chemistry with the MC was humorous to see. So glad I got his best ending on the first go. His relationship with his home, his realistic personality, and his character design (mmmbigarmsmm) was really cool to experience. I can't wait to see how his storyline unfolds.

Such a comfy game. Love the option to pursue a romantic or platonic route with each spirit- really makes them a little more "human" despite their nature lol. The designs of the characters and their offices are so beautiful! My favourite will have to be Rye's (I'm heavily biased towards warm tones) and immediately chose him for how relaxed and artsy he is.  Ivy is soooo pretty I kept gawking whenever she was on screen. One mishap may be how some of the sparkling magic kind of "glitches" (more like delays a little) but it did not take away from my experience. Overall, super good!

Fantastic storytelling. The author very much understands the tone and language needed to convey such mystical feelings. The art is nothing short of beautiful - perfectly sketchy and painterly. The main character is interesting as she is relatively mysterious, while the silver-haired man is ethereal and intriguing.  The game seems to work fine and I found no issues loading and going through the game. Well done! Can't believe this is a solo work(?) Very skilled.
