My new comfort game! Every interaction and character had so much love poured into them. Plus most of the interactions seemed realistic for me based on the amount of reply responses we were given. I highly recommend the DLC's too!

I love this game! (*^▽^*) I come back to it at least once a year just to replay it. The base game alone is great and long too! (≧ω≦) I have ALL the DLCs and must say, they're absolutely worth it! The game makes me feel something, like finding the childhood friend I never really had. (´；ω；`) It has its fun moments, but also some emotional stuff. (T_T) I also love how there are no RIGHT answers. You can choose what you would actually say. And that's what I love about this game. I don't need a guide for a "good" ending. I can be myself and spend my time with Cove! (♡ω♡)

Legitimately the best "dating" sim out there, the characters feel like real people and the writing is stunning.
