I have included some wretched choices in the game. I am trusting the player to pick none of them.

to me, this is one of those games when even if its kinda big for the usual VNs i consume(yurijam my beloved), i still feel is niche enough that i will barely know 3 people that enjoy the game, and its a bit of a shame, since the story feels like we are just grasping on the surface, and there is a lot more to tell, and i say this knowing i havent 100% all the game yet, but still i can give a reasonable review at this point where i am, having already finished the main endings. as i said already, the main story comes of as such a rich world it makes me curious of whats inside its guts, filling me with a curiosity i dont really find in much many other VNs, and yet i feel like the story it tells has really good cohesion and is perfectly covered, with bits of lore sprinkled out in different paths(what i consider paths at least) and peeks on the past that enrich the story. on the art side i cant help but love it, i was already a fan of the artist and the style, and in this VN i feel like each piece represents in a good way the story the text is explaining, elevating it with such a unique representation, also making each character design so special you cant help but fall in love with them. there is a couple of small things that i felt lackluster, even tho i understand that there cant exist a perfect work as an absolute, so i dont really feel like what i am about to say must be understood as something that makes me feel as if they make this work worse, as in there isnt a perfect piece of marble structure or organism in nature. the first thing would be that i feel like the transfemenine choice falls a bit lacking, as in i feel like there could be some places where this trait could show up more, like maybe in some more insecurities or even obsessing over some things, although i wanna say i dont feel like this makes this work worse, just more human in my eyes. the other thing is in the aspects of choices and being able to rollback, since i am used to play VNs that can just go back even on choices easily without having to use the autosave option, but this is just the smallest of things, like i can perfectly see why this cant be done due to adding it breaking something else so its just my personal opinion at the end of the day i really loved this literally and visual work, and i cant wait to see more of it :)

perfect video game for loser lesbians who are a little bit into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I love media that allows girls to be nasty, gross, confused, weird, strange and dumb. I love the in-your-face type of filth that this game exhibits. I love the different dynamics between female characters in this game. I love everything about it. This ♥♥♥♥ is fire. It was pooped out for me to enjoy. And I did. <3
it was truly a gift that steam recommended me this game. I've almost gotten all the endings but theres still so much I havent seen its amazing
the best vn I've ever played. agonizing, convulsive, & visceral. girl money
tldr: Amazing game about so many things but mainly about brave people resisting against a system and world aiming to crush and assimilate everyone (sound familiar?) . Despite tackling all these themes, the game manages to tie them into eachother neatly. Contrary to other reviews you do NOT need to be the target demographic to enjoy the game. You could be average Joe and the game would still be amazing. You can STILL relate to the main characters (everyone is mentally ill, some just hide it better than others) Spoilers: Relateable and sympethatic characters. All their actions and words come natural and bounce off eachother naturally. I particulary enjoyed Mom and her relationship to Fellicity and Cancer which gets revealed step by step through different endings and routes. She tackles her and Felicitiys Drama, manages to work through it (with Cancers help) and allows Cancer to live independately of it. Especially the flashbags of her alcoholism are amazingly visceral. The story pieces nicely click into place through the different routes and reading through scenes again after completing different routes feels rewarding, as little connections can be made everywhere. Similarly the writing is very unique, abstract and metaphor heavy. When starting the game, you often dont know which phrases are metaphors and which directly reference the game world. As you unravel the story, the dialogue gets clearer and clearer and by the end you can cut through the metaphors nicely. You get used to the strange writing style, which alternates between excessively dressing ideas up and extremely blunt and shameless language and imagery (The writing feels like a bodybag in giftwrap). This makes the game very rewarding to replay and get different endings. My only gripe is that the true good ending is very easy to get. I got it in my first playthrough and it still hit hard. However, i did this ending again after finding all other endings and it hit way harder and was more emotional, because you spent more time with Agnel and Cancer and wish the best for them. It would have been cool if you needed to get all the bad ends and see Cancer suffer endlessly before beeing able to get the true and. This also ties into the game world with "the ocean of hair" and many Cancers sacrificing themselves to finally have Cancers wish fullfilled. The world is very blatant and simple but also abstract. However, this works really well, especially because every abstract part of the world is an on-the-nose metaphor for our real world. yah probably my game of the year
Waiting for someone to write a guide before a second playthrough, because I love Cancer (the sad, fragile thing she is) and don’t wish to subject her to more bad ends than necessary experimenting in search of a good end… but that (in and of itself) combined with the reality “I’m recommending this after one 80 minute playthrough, because if it was *just that* it’d still be worth the price” is testament to how much this resonated with me. I aspire to be the best ally I can, but like this is a review from a painfully straight CIS white boy, so do with that what you will… parts of it were rather bracing from character creation (I know there’s a “we’re taking it back”movement, but wasn’t ready for that word out of the gate as someone who absolutely couldn’t say it). But in the same way this reality leaves me uncomfortable saying how resonant/affecting/insightful/sensitive it would be from the standpoint of someone with more lived experience in the topics, I can definitely attest to the fact it felt like a very powerful mix of both direct textual portrayal of Yuri coming of age alongside surreal levels of supernatural fantasy allegory. Someone concerned and quietly hiding the reality their body is slowly morphing into an alien plastic facade as their inner being collapses into a black hole strikes me as something a lot of 20 somethings questioning their sexuality probably COULD relate to, so it’s a visceral enough analogy that it was that much easier for me to relate to. A lot of good romance and horror run with a protagonist you could easily project yourself upon in scenarios you can easily imagine. And that’s perfectly adequate, but the simple approach… it is an easy thing to care about a protagonist just like you, and thus the simplest way to write one. Cancer’s situation is strange enough none have ever gone through her EXACT problems, but they’re also stark and confrontational enough we’re forced to imagine somewhat vividly “but what if you were?” And while enormous, her awkwardness and insecurity feel deeply relatable even if I never dealt with some of her foibles personally. The game is great in the sense it makes you care even if a lot of this is deeply foreign. I can only imagine what it’s like to someone who can relate to it more directly, but as someone who can’t, still very enriching, is the point I’m making… so worth a try just on the chance it impacts you as deeply as it did me
it puts WORMS in your brain, for a reasonable price!
The art is gorgeous, the music is awesome, and the whole game feels like a fever dream of desire, pain, your hometown tearing you apart but keeping you firmly planted anyways. A photo into early girlhood, of all kinds, especially when you're trans or nonbinary and on the fringes. It's a game that for me demands replaying to really sink into the story and world, and even when you don't undertand everything it hits you right in the heart. It's often funny and sickening in the best of ways. And as someone who has seen a lot of dream sequences in horror media over my life, some of the dream sequences rocked my world in how unique and twisted they were. Also on a personal note as someone with endometriosis, it was really cool to play as a character who has it and how it impacts your life as a teen. I was really touched by that and processed some things I haven't before Amazing game, definitely give it a try if you're into visual novels that get under your skin
