tl;dr game good, everyone should play it
- The entire art direction - peak. Love the UI, really enjoyed the style of the backgrounds, and I can't wait to see the placeholder portraits get updated because everyone we do see so far looks absolutely fantastic.
- Getting to do a little "character creation" at the start is so fun. Gonna pick increasingly wilder backstories as I try other routes/options in future playthroughs.
- Speaking of routes, I went into this thinking "okay, I'm just gonna be really in love with Aspen and Inés" purely based on vibes/the type of character I usually like the most, but then Moxie smirked at me and it was all over /positive
- Excellent writing. The setting is SO intriguing. I love that I feel both at home and afraid in a town full of people I can't fully trust but do anyway because I find them all endearing in their own way. Send help
- The dialogue options are always fun. Thank you for letting me be reasonably normal and/or reasonably snarky and/or flirt awkwardly with Hot Person I Just Met.
- You know it's real when you spam the screenshot shortcut and the game makes you scream on Discord (there were many "I WON!!!!!!!!!"s about scenes involving Aspen. Th-this is my man. He was made for me.)
- The cliffhanger is killing me, THANKS (still positive)
On a more serious note for anyone reading this trying to decide if they should play it - my answer is obviously yes, but if you know the missing portraits or sound would bother you, you are now legally obligated to at least tell the devs you're looking forward to the full game. Doing that will protect you when the night comes, true story. :^)
