This game REALLY worked for me. The MC is so delightfully twisted and manipulative. Milo is adorable. Also, I love how there were multiple points where my yandere-loving ass was like "We've hit the goal, right? ...right?" And then the MC wasn't happy until he was willing to kill, maim, and manipulate her, as well. Also, I was NOT expecting all the Ryan lore.
Side note, the art style quickly grew on me. The sketch-like quality, the overall focus on emotion & tone, the MC's insane Uzumaki-esque hair...

I just played this, and it's quite a beautiful story.
SPOILERS
My first playthrough was Peyton-focused, which definitely provided the most "complete" experience and was obviously more heartwarming, haha. I just circled around for a Hugh playthrough. 1) Ouch, you pulled no punches there. He is merciless. 2) It was fun to see all the little hints that added unease and mystery in the first playthrough with more context.
...also, I just saw a comment that implies that hanging out with Fanny is a legit ending option, and I am here for it. She's so casually cutthroat but charming.
BUGS
I did notice a few bugs, though nothing that broke the game, fortunately.
1) When I go to buy the fishing rod, it doesn't give any indication that I bought it. No money spent, for example. But I can start fishing, at least.
2) There's a question mark in the farthest right area that doesn't seem to be linked to any text.
3) Peyton continues to "wait at the crossroads" after the scene that is triggered when you interact with him there and start his ending. If you click him again, the scene at the ravine (?) starts again.
4) The game lets you pick up items when there's no room in your inventory, and I think they just disappear when you do. Related, if you click to X out one inventory item, it usually removes 2.
