I've actually enjoyed the narrative, with all its turnarounds and twists. The characters were quite charming, and the dlc was awesome, loved the new character.

I wasn't prepared for just how much I got into this visual novel. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this, but the story, voice acting, and characters really grabbed me and refused to let go. Jonah Scott and Gideon Emery were a delightful surprise along with some of the tender moments with characters. As with any of these games, it feels like the writers had some of their favorites (which isn't a point against them as it's a common aspect to romance games), but I would recommend this game for those who like supernatural dating sims. Also it's got poly options which more games absolutely need xoxo There are a few flaws with the game but they're pretty small and far between in my opinion. I do wish there was a bit more, but I also understand that small studios only have so much time and resources. The universe they created is vastly interesting and I wish there was opportunity to explore it more (or dive deeper into some of the things that are skirted over quickly). But flaws not enough for me to not love this game <3

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much. The only love interest I was really interested in at first was Alkar, but when I played his route I found myself really liking the others, too. The main story, if you ignore the romance, is quite interesting and though it's only really interesting once or twice, it can be played without romancing anyone and still be interesting. Now, despite not being convinced about the love interests at first, I ended up romancing everyone but Omen (sorry, he's really not my type, though he's definitely cute as a friend). Every love interest had their own interesting personality, and nothing felt forced for inclusivity or anything. I loved Piper and I would have loved to have a second female option too, but it was great either way! The only thing I think is missing is an 'auto' button- I would've liked to be able to toggle that and just sit back to crochet while the story played. All in all a very pleasant surprise! I ended up playing Alkar's route a second time at the end just because I love my good boy so much :)

Newer to the visual novel genre, but this is one of my favorite queer inclusive games. Like many games the story has a fairly easy to spot villain by the time you're part way through, but I did not mind due to how adorable and fun most all the cast was to engage. The voice acting was also top notch. Thus far I have only played once romancing one character, but may pick it back up again to romance others despite normally not replaying games once finished.

I don't think I've played a game where I genuinely enjoyed every single option. The story was wonderfully heartbreaking, the endings are all fantastic, and the voice acting/art is gorgeous.
