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.

This game is really good I have enjoyed it so far I haven't done Piper, Alkar, Omen or the omen+Alkar routes but I do look forward to them. Aside from the characters the main plot is good very thought out and detailed.

Unexpected find for me! Went for August's route first because I was like "well they're the person Hunter is gonna be with most of the time" and was pleasantly surprised haha. I love their character! Want more of this series :D I got the DLC but I want more haha. The voice acting in this game is superb too! The writing is very smooth good to read as well. Love the humor in the game too. Played August's route twice before trying out Ezra's. Will go for Finn's next. I find myself very amused by Ezra and Finn because they somehow feel inspired by Good Omens' Aziraphale and Crowley? Even if they're not, they remind me of the two a lot haha, with some traits of what I love about those two characters leaking to the other characters as well haha. Anyway, those who are interested by the theme of this visual novel would probably like it :D The main plot is mostly the same in all the routes I heard and so far it seems true. But it's still very much fun learning about the different characters in their own routes, and learning about the characters you "left behind" in their routes it seems. Still a lot of funny August moments in Ezra's for example. The VN also has a form of the "found family" trope that otome VNs like Code: Realize and Cafe Enchante have so it's quite nice that way. Another thing that's somehow different for me at least for this VN is your choices don't really matter. Even if there are hearts next to them you can choose to not choose them, there doesn't seem to be an internal plot meter etc deciding your route. It's just about choosing which route you want to head to eventually and then at the end a choice that's pretty much obvious deciding for when you're going to the bad or good end. So in effect it's low pressure and just have fun reading, choosing the conversational choices that you want to pick :D (though in the end you'll probably go back for making the different choices too to unlock more lines, is very easy to go back to a prev choice too). One thing's that kind of weird with the Steam version is if you get the DLC, the option to play it separately doesn't really work. On mac at least Idk about others. It's kinda bugged. So if you install it you need to load the main game and it would load the DLC. But in order to play the main game again you have to uninstall the DLC. Is no biggie really but just might help others who are confused what's happening.
