Comments:

I'm exactly the player this game seems to want (gay black person that plays VNs), so this isn't me saying this to be contrarian or controversial. I'll also say all this with the caveat that I've only played Malik's route and part of Isabelle's.I've never been more disappointed to be a game's target audience in my life. This game fails at just about everything it aims to achieve, and every part of a route that I clear leaves me sad that such nice art and designs are stuck in this terrible package. I streamed most of this to play through it with friends and we collectively found the experience almost nauseating in its ability to frustrate the player. Malik's full route left myself and everyone I streamed the game to so completely dissatisfied that it felt like it was poorly written as a purposeful jab instead of being the result of incompetent writing.

There is an amazing amount of Sapphic and Trans themes in this game that are super real but at the same time heart warming. This game is brilliant and I whole heartily endorse it. However, as a gay black male, I can appreciate that this game wasn't for me. No tea, no shade, but it misses the mark for cis gay black men. Read that as men loving men. this isn't a mark against the game. There are a ton of games out their for gay men , just not gay black men. I wanted to be seen in validated in that way, but I am not mad that I am not because the representation for the other's members of the LGBTQ were spot on. The writing is warm, fun familiar and actually funny, and heartbreaking. The writing team is most def talented. 10/10 would recommend. I could easily see this be instrumental is someones coming out story.

A very well made game. All the characters are quite interesting and I'm excited to see more of this game and these stories soon. I may not play many games in general but it is fun to go back and replay this game going down whatever route I choose the story to go in. Glad i found this game , i would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get into stories with interesting characters, character development , and romance.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game, and I'm waiting with baited breath for the next chapters to drop. Please tell me they're soon.The characters feel very realistic, their stories feel very honest. It's enjoyable to have characters I relate too on a very deep level, and I enjoy that not every route ends with love, sex, etc.Would love to see more from this developer, whether its more chapters for this game or an entire new game

Kill time

Playing games has long been a cornerstone of entertainment, offering a fun and engaging way to pass the time during those long, tedious moments.

The pressure suddenly decreased.

In today's fast-paced world, whether you're a student, a working professional, or a retiree, everyone faces their own unique challenges and struggles. The weight of responsibilities never seems to lighten - just when you overcome one obstacle, another emerges. Before stress becomes overwhelming, why not find relief through gaming? It offers the perfect escape, allowing you to reset your mind, recharge your energy, and face life's pressures with renewed strength. After all, everyone deserves a healthy outlet to release tension and rediscover joy.

The image is vividly etched in my mind.

Memories of the past are deeply personal-some bitter like citrus rind, others tangy like salted plums, or cool and sharp like fresh mint. These recollections often resurface during life's difficult moments, returning with startling clarity. They replay like vivid scenes before our eyes, pulling us back through time until we find ourselves immersed in another era, reliving stories that no longer belong to us alone.
