Went through this in pretty much one go (saw like 80%~ of what's there in 0.5.0) and I really, like.. really like what's being built here.
I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter adjacent aesthetics. Also an absolute sucker for Lily man, i'll be there first thing once she starts getting more added to her route.
I think gameplay wise it can be frustrating because you're flying a bit blind with the stats, but once you reach a point where there's constant events there's a lot of satisfying reading to be had.
While I'm at it I should report that I encountered a bug with the gallery. For some reason Lily was the only character who didn't have unlockable options, personally this was devastating beyond measure. (I assume it's a big at least considering her sprites are in the files)
Keep at it, I really want to see where this goes. The Violet story also sold me a great deal on how well the game can pace itself, slow burn but in a good way when done right
(Also do more Lily, did I mention her enough?)
