March 2025
Amazing story, entertaining in all the ways possible. I haven't actually sat down and read anything in a while, but this was perfect for me. It actually made reading engaging and I fell in love with each of the characters even more than I already had been. In-fact, it really made me change my opinions of a lot of characters I never found "interesting" before-hand. Great game, worth the purchase all the way through!

this game is so rad genuinely. Eridan talking about gender not mattering and being arbitrary and then immediately talking about how much the hemospectrum matters, was incredible 9/10 would play over and over (-1 point because some characters DID NOT get enough time)

good story with good art!! i just have one complaint and that is the general inclusion of things that would confuse someone such as myself who makes the correct decision and avoids the epilogues at all costs, aka treating them as canon at all. seriously, the treatment of the events of a near-universally hated, dubiously canon continuation of the series (that i wanted to remain knowing nothing about) as canon really messed up some parts of this game. im specifically referring to the very end of v14, where it is just casually fucking mentioned that john went through some shit i wont say here, described in a manner that made it sound like it happened one thing after another and gave me a really horrific visualization until i brought myself to look it up. like, there wasnt even any sort of warning for that. that made me really uncomfortable, honestly. i would have loved to know beforehand that there were mentions of anything like that in that volume. i would have loved it even more if it just wasnt fucking included. anyways, aside from unexpected weird shit i didnt want to read, it was pretty great.

Great for Homestuck fans who want some mental torture and dubiously written versions of their favorite characters. We got Meowrails though so like 10/10
