I think this game is really cute, despite some aspects of it making me a little uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I like it and don't want to discourage you guys in any way, I love the characters and I'm really excited to see Ray's route cause I suspect he might be my favorite. I'm trying to give criticism in the nicest way possible so you can improve the game to make it a more enjoyable experience, but it might just be my opinion on the matter so I apologize if I make you feel bad at any moment.
I read the warnings and that's not what bothers me, it's the way the MC doesn't react to any of the hurtful and out-of-place things Erics says, he crosses a lot of her boundaries but she keeps acting like he's a kid that doesn't deserve consequences. I just felt powerless having no way to make choices against that (I think having the player choose how to react in that situation would be better)
*SPOILERS* In Edgar's good ending the whole interaction with Eric bothers me, especially the way the MC just tells him to go away nicely (like she's apologizing) instead of screaming at him for being rude to Edgar the whole day, she doesn't support him aside from the ending and that's horrible. I just felt really bad having to go through that, and I get that it is supposed to be a harsh truth revealed in a shitty way, but the MC didn't have to deny it in such a nice way (even with her golden energy, I feel like she was just accepting Eric's disrespect and didn't protect the person that was by her side the whole time - Edgar). In Leo's route too.
And I couldn't help but feel like the story was a bit rushed, I know making a game like this is really hard and having a bigger story only adds to that, but I felt myself wishing that I could see more of the events that are shown to us. Not so much in the romantic paths, but in the common route for example *SPOILER* I wish we could see more of what happens after the MC hurts herself, we just know there's a fight but we don't have any consequences of that, we are told the red team won but it just felt incomplete to me. It doesn't help that there's only one route that mentions it afterward (Edgar's). I wish that the scenes connected better between themselves, even if it's just one little line because it helps the atmosphere and feels like a more cohesive story.
Even the romantic paths could be a little more evolved, I don't know your plans of development but I just felt like I needed more of the couples after they get together just some interactions or just a text saying what happens, something to tie the story better (I know it's supposed to give a feel of continuity but I just felt it lacking narrative). Leo's route was the one that most bothered me about this aspect because it just feels like the love confession comes out of nowhere. The other routes give the impression that the feeling is more real and possible to happen in that short amount of time (not saying that it is impossible to love so strongly in a few weeks, but it feels more idealistic). It just felt like too much for me, not as believable as the other routes, which made me stop enjoying it, together with the fact that the ending felt very rushed (more so in his route than the others). Also, Leo's was the one that gave me the most creepy vibes, I just felt a little uneasy with the way he dealt with his problem - gave me tsundere vibes, it was too much for me, despite him being my favorite in the common route. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was overreacting (even after hearing his reasoning).
To the things that I liked, my favorite route has to be Markus, with Edgar following, they both made me feel like a teenager in some parts, blushing and smiling at the screen, and almost crying in others. The reality of the feeling felt more natural to me and made me enjoy it better. Markus' just felt like such a real narrative, like it could happen to me at any moment and, despite him pushing the MC away, it was definitely different than the way Leo dealt with things, it didn't make me scared or weirded out at any moment. Edgar's just felt like a real love - messy, hurtful, and confusing, but also, cute, beautiful, and extremely rewarding.
I didn't have the courage to read Lawrence's route yet cause I'm scared his cold demeanor is going to make me upset after being so happy with the ending of the last two routes I played (Markus and Edgar), but I think I'm going to enjoy it once I get to it.
I appreciate it if you took your time to read my opinion and I'm sorry again if I said anything disrespectful or hurtful. I don't usually comment on games (and this is definitely my favorite genre so I'm pretty sure I've played more than 100 games similar), but I felt like I could help trying to give my advice. I don't make games so I can't talk with property about that, but I really enjoy writing and I know how hard it is to develop your own universe so I'm really proud of what you have achieved. Thank you for reading, if you had the time to read to the end <3 I hope I could help, even if just a little
