one night, hot springs

It's cute and short. On my first playthrough I played as if I myself were in the main character's situation, and I got the bad ending which is probably a wake up call for me >3>

Well, the game is free. That's good. But its 95% positive review score seems to mostly just be from affective and/or ideological identification, because the game itself is just not that good and really quite terribly written. First... it's just boring. Effectively nothing happens. There is no conflict, not even in the bad ending. All storylines are basically just "Haru feels uncomfortable, and people are nice to her." The game had the opportunity to present some real psychological conflict, but it failed by keeping everything very surface-level. But also, the story isn't coherent across different routes. If you decline Manami's invitation, Haru just contemplates [spoiler]how nice Manami's parents are and how they took her shopping to buy new clothes after her coming out[/spoiler], but if you get a Manami route, then apparently Manami [spoiler]doesn't know Haru is trans[/spoiler]. Unless Haru [spoiler]only came out to Manami's parents, not Manami herself[/spoiler], then this makes no sense. And even within the same route, the story just doesn't make sense. If Haru is Manami's "best and oldest friend" who she grew up with, then [spoiler]this must be an insanely superficial friendship if Manami somehow doesn't know Haru is trans[/spoiler]. Also, when they check into the ryokan, Haru [spoiler]gives her legal name, Haruto, which the receptionist then reads out loud, right in front of Manami[/spoiler]. Yet, later, Manami [spoiler]doesn't know she's trans[/spoiler]!? That makes no sense. That would be like [spoiler]discovering your female friend Alex's name is actually short for Alexander[/spoiler]. So, then, why do I have like 23 hours logged on this game? Because it's available in Greek. Text-heavy games in Greek are very rare. This was a fantastic opportunity to practice my Greek. But if you're playing in a language you're good at, then you should know that this game is more or less exclusively for people who are trans or already have emotional/political/identity investment in trans stories. If that's you, that's fine, but this game's overwhelmingly high review score is definitely from affective/ideological identification, not its actual merits as a game or story.
