I think there are some issues, but I was relatively satisfied.









I was satisfied with Chase ending up with Kudzu because I liked their relationship arc throughout the story and I think that Leo's obsession with Chase could be a bit too overbearing (though I know some of it has to do with Echo itself).
However, I don't really like how Chase gets off scot-free considering that it seemed like he was very callous when he broke up with Leo. He never genuinely apologizes or has to consider what he did. I think it would be nice for them to stay supportive of each other instead of Chase just straight-up leaving Leo at the end (though I do like the symbolism of the train scene, it's not good of Chase to just abandon Leo again rather than try to fix up their relationship, even if he doesn't want it to be romantic anymore considering how they were great friends.)
I think that Leo deserves better but Chase might not actually be better. Hell, maybe the writers' intention is that Chase is somewhat manipulative (or, to be more generous, too confused about his feelings?) so he and Leo don't really "work" for each other because Leo is too sincerely intense and Chase is too casual or impulsive. There's also a sort of issue stemming from how Leo is lonely, but he doesn't leave the area he grew up in so, by the end of his route, he's not really putting himself out to anyone or forming new connections on his own. Maybe they both need to learn a few things.

I'm not being mean to Leo...
What is this???

Alright, I'm checking it out again.
Clint is definitely introduced as a ring-tailed cat, but I found the two times where I saw Clint referred to as a "polecat" in Leo's route and it seems to be in Chase's neutral narrative description of him, not as an insult: when he shows up a Brian's trailer, and later when Chase and co. find him at Leo's place.

I'm not totally finished the VN, but am really enjoying it! It's rare for me to find a piece of media (especially one with so many major characters) where I enjoy reading about pretty much everyone!

One sort of... factual error that's bugging me (having finished Leo's route) is that Clint is described as a "polecat" a few times. Considering that he's called a "ring-tailed cat" or "cat" at other times, this confused me as to what species he was supposed to be.
I would say definitely not a polecat from how he looks, as "polecat" is a non-specific word for some similar ferret or weasel-like species (and Clint looks nothing like, say, Duke). He could pass as a sort of domestic cat, but I'm guessing that he's supposed to be a ringtail/ring-tailed cat considering his large, sideways-facing ears, black-and-white (though noticeably much less fluffy) tail, and the fact that they're a species native to the southern U.S.
