So, I'm honestly just gushing about the fact that I found a game about zombabes because ghoul gals are awesome, but this is actually just a really good game regardless! Absolutely fantastic queer rep all around, covering heavy themes in a very SFW even almost kid-friendly(teen-friendly, more like. Mostly because of the cussing though...) manner, and it's got amazing art!  

The one thing I have to say is...I don't really like either of two endings besides the ghouls. The poly ending was pretty clearly added to throw in poly rep, and that's fine, not to mention it handles it really well, but it just feels hasty and not much like the ultimate ending you have to see both other endings in order to unlock that I expected. And I may be biased against Liam's ending because I accidentally got it on my first playthrough when I wasn't trying to(Don't get me wrong - love the guy and I was going to get his ending regardless...), but it just seems so...thrown together. It really does seem like Liam was an afterthought - I mean, that'd be understandable, too, considering it's called "My Sweet Zombie." It just doesn't make any sense If you're not going ONLY for Liam, and even then it still feels, how you say, forced? I mean, all this potential tension with the undead roommate and you can even kiss her(I think that's part of why I accidentally got his ending - I assumed the kiss was...bigger than it was. Is that my fault?) and then like...the next day or two set up a date with some guy from work. The absolute worst part about it, though, is we don't even get to see him finally finding out about the whole zombo thing. It's just off-handedly slipped in there after a time-skip as if it isn't important when it absolutely is! 
That said, I do like how realistically it's treated. Sam still does the thing her parents want, but still manages a side-hustle to pursue her real passion. Liam also doesn't have a purely positive experience returning to his abandoned life, and still has ways to go with picking up that old lifestyle again. Although, that is kinda counteracted by the fact that the Zombo ending has the added bonus of showing abusive parents can still be redeemed...ah well, I'll take the one good thing about that ending as is.  

Anyway, this was...longer than I wanted it to be, so let me sum up -
Zombabes, good. Queer and Racial representation without ever resorting to stereotypes or being in your face about it, good. Anti-parental authority messaging, good. Art and Soundtrack, good. Funi retail jokes and ridiculous hijinks, good. Bluntness and Lampshading, good. Disaster Lesbians, amazing. Liam and Poly Ending, weird. But overall, perfect! lol. 
Hope you see this, Tsunderes! Also, amazing name.
