i just finished the demo. and i am. genuinely flabbergasted. that was incredible and i am genuinely so excited to see what comes next.
thank you for making this series, it means a lot to me. i'll be sure to ramble about it so much to my friends that some of them will have no choice but to check it out.
I have... so many feelings about this. I don't think it's even possible for me to say them all. This is such a raw, sincere and striking story. The third act shook me to my core. It felt so quick and messy and cathartic and tragic and emotional while still being part of the cohesive whole that is this visual novel. It felt so honest in its depiction of what close to complete ostracization can bring people to do.
This is in no way comprehensive, but I'll perhaps come back to explain my thoughts in more detail once they're clearer in my head.
Thank you for giving us this experience.
I found out about this game while randomly browsing itch.io, and it barely took half of the game's runtime for it to become my favorite visual novel ever.
There's so, so much to love about this story. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting and emotionally evocative, even the ones that we've barely had the chance to interact with thus far.
Lucy is a delight of a protagonist, and her low self-image has a clear effect on the narration, which I'm in love with. She also feels very trans-coded to me, but that's just my headcanon.
For now >:))
I have a lot of thoughts about this story as a whole, but there's less than half a day before Episode 2 comes out, so I'll save the longer review for after I finish it.
All in all, this is an amazing visual novel and I'm glad to have found out about it and I'm ecstatic to learn more about the world and these characters.
I don't think I'll ever be able to properly put into words what this game means to me. I was just checking out what games there were in the bundle I had just bought when I saw this game, and immediately noticed "trans girl" in the description. To no one's surprise, as any trans egg thirsty for trans content would, I installed the game as fast as I (and my computer) could manage.
And here I am, a few hours later, still gaping, laughing, crying, and feeling another thousand or so emotions I can't even name. Just about everything about this game - the visuals, the music, the writing, the way it completely and shamelessly got under my skin and abused it to the fullest potential leaves me in awe. Seeing Alex's journey of self-discovery in striking parallel to my own was both heartwarming and painful. Seeing the game's mechanics and my expectations of them blow up in my face to really put me into the mindset of a parental abuse victim was heartbreaking but extremely real. This game reminded me that I have a really long way to go until I can completely affirm that I'm living my best life and that I'm happy, but that, in the end...
I could never thank you enough for this experience.
