I don't usually review something NSFW, but, tbh, I legit didn't even know it was going to have NSFW aspects.
That said... this is the most emotional a VN has ever gotten me. It took me on a total roller coaster. Its music is perfectly selected. Its art is adorable. Its story is... just, wow. I really, really was moved by this. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a story-focused VN.
When I was a child, I grew up in, essentially, a Nintendo-only household. I loved Nintendo. I played so much of it. By my teens I got to play some SEGA (Sonic mostly but some others) games and felt sadness I hadn't discovered them earlier--I also had a Playstation (Spyro, Jade Coccoon), and came to have a passion for gaming in the general sense by then. In early adulthood I finally got my first XBox (XBone) and mostly got it for a couple games that were exclusive at the time.
However, from around 2015 onward, I had a growing love for indie games. I grew tired of the litigious behaviors of Nintendo, and the samey nature of most AAA quality games--which seem to homogenize more every year.
Nowadays I am about 98% Team Indie. I love how quirky, diverse, weird and experimental they can get, and yet still have masterpieces across the board. Most games I have purchased (literally a couple of thousand) over the past decade have been indie, small publishers, or barely advertised games from bigger developers (at least in the West, some where hits in Japan.)
This personal change has come alongside a similar shift to indie music and a desire to shop local as much as possible. I really feel I have shifted to a much more community-driven approach to using my dollar (not always, we still have to buy big box for some groceries and the like, but I even try to buy as much as I can from the local grocer.) It just feels like it's the right thing to do (for me personally, no judgment to people who can't afford the price difference, or don't have access to a strictly local shopping source.)
Anyone else have stories of shifting toward indie, almost as a rule, anymore? In general I am big Team Indie/Team Local.

I wouldn't mind preserving abandonware in such a way, but if the product is still for sale or has an active owner, it gets more complicated. If the creator is no longer making money on it and refuses to remake it, preserving the old is a gray area but I find it alright. If the uploader is CHARGING for it, I have a problem.
