Honestly, this game prioritizes the story and characters over the romance.
Which is NOT a bad thing, at all.
Unbroken Hours as a creator has always focus more on storytelling and complex and troubled characters, rather than typical otome romance plots you'd see in something like Re:Alistair++ from a similar timeframe, and leans more into those moments were connection is held, before life gets in the way again. When I was younger, (back in the lemmasoft days and the ren'py website and the OG Unbroken Hours Website days) I felt similarly to you, want more of my character in romantic moments with the characters we meet or know. Though, even then, it was more impactful for me to have endings that came from the character's own situations and lives, of what the world will and wont allow for the people in it.
It doesn't need to be like other otome games, because it is a full story, and a full world to see the corners of. The threads that make you realize your character will never have the full understanding of the world with any one path.. but you as the player get to see and realize how the world is tied together is frankly, one of my favorite things about this game. :)
If you want a more otome style game, their game 'Heartstring Bugs' might be closer to what you'd be looking for from this dev <3
tl;dr : its okay that its not like other otome games, its still fun and an awesome read.

I gotta say, every time Sodaraptor surprises me with what has been cooked up in that brain of his. This gamejam game is both cute and scary. It feels like a classic homage to older horror titles while still having it's own modern feeling. It's short sweet and has amazing atmosphere, the entity being enough to make me take a break from the game( i love horror, but i struggleLOL).... to come back and try again later. definitely try this one out, its even free!! FOR FREE!! (pay for his other games fr tho like they are worth it)
Take your time and rest, grief is hard. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know you'll see her on the otherside of the rainbow bridge, as you said. She'll watch over you until you do, if you believe in something like that as I do. Otherwise, thank you for your updates and take your time getting back into the swing of things
well, its more complicated. Gatobob wasnt married to puke, they were friends. Puke divorced his partner and Gato divorced her's, both for their own reasons. They also both separated as work partners on poor terms. There was a lot of unhealthy things behind the scenes.
Gato still creates from the same name, but Puke has disappeared due to different troubles including allegations of grooming fans.
