Despite being a lesbian, I have a bit of a soft spot for otome games, dating sims, and visual novels of all kinds, even those that involve men. I saw this while scrolling, and the name caught my attention, and as I read the description, I couldn't help but become even more intrigued. A game that actually portrays BDSM healthily? That's something pretty rare amidst a sea of complete noncon and, quite frankly, plain abusive relationship dynamics. So, I decided to give it a shot. And Gods, am I glad that I did. The realism displayed in this short game... I'm in love, truly. I am especially a fan of the level of communication from both parties, and am greatly appreciative of the fact that we, the player, can actually have real input on the way that things go between us and Sebastian. The production quality is also much better than I anticipated, the voice acting really being like the icing on the cake. Overall, as someone who is involved in a similar-type relationship myself, I found immense joy in playing through this visual novel. And from the perspective of someone who is literally in college for game development, I feel so, so inspired... I wish that I could properly express the way in which this game inspired me to potentially make a similar game myself, specifically one that also serves as a healthy exploration of sexuality. Thank you so much. You've definitely earned a fan. I would love it if you ever decided to revisit this project, but even if you don't, I still look forward to seeing what you create in the future, and am happily about to check out some of your other works!
