I think that this game is deeply unknown which is a shame for multiples reasons : First the characters are sweethearts, i found myself liking everyone which to be honest is rare (i tend to judge some characters but don't we all ?) Second reason well the story was very nice and entertaining. I found myself spending an entire night on the game without even noticing it because replaying it was simply very fun ! If you're into achievement hunting (i won't lie i'm too.) then you'll still have an awesome time with the characters. I also appreciate how inclusive the game is (about joyce and phoenix genders and also by not forcing us to be in a romantic relationship if we aren't ready without it being a bad ending). It might not be 100% perfect but who cares that much ? The game have a soul and a team that clearly loved their characters in my eyes it's worth way more than perfection. If the devs read this then thanks you for making the game, and thanks you for giving it to us freely, it's been months since i played it yet it's in my heart as if i just finished it and in my eyes this means everything.

I played this a while ago when I was first initially getting into visual novels and dating sims. When I played this game, I fell into a slump immediately after, because it just kinda drags. I played it for a few but then decided to shut it off, close my laptop, and go touch grass, because I honestly thought this game was super boring. There's no customizable mc (maybe I'm getting a little nit picky), and there were points in the start of the game where I was just clicking through dialogue to try and skip it because the writing was dry, boring, and unnecessarily long. Maybe I'm just not a "true visual novel fan', but I think I'd be able to recognize when a game kinda drags and is boring. I can't really complain because this is a free game after all, so I will say that the art style was good. It's not my personal cup of tea, but I acknowledge that other people might really like it which is great.

(Late review) I loved this game, it has a pretty good story and it's not rushed! I mainly finished it because I wanted to 100% it, but I love the direction of the story and such. It's very lighthearted, not at all heavy. Some sad moments, but it's not enough to make you cry, so no worries! I love that you can choose whether your love interest can be a girl or a boy, same with your own pronouns and names! I like to think in the good ending with Joyce that in their near future, they get to be together physically as well, in a way because the thought of them just only being together forever through a screen hurts my heart 🥹

Amazing, beautiful little visual novel with an interesting story. I love how you can choose not just your own but your love interest’s gender too. (Sort of) I found the story engaging and relatable, and the visual style is truly gorgeous.

A short dating sim about depression and purpose. The love interests are cute, it's not very demanding, and yet it has enough choices to keep you busy for more than a couple of sessions. I really enjoyed it.

The quality of the art, story, and choice options for this title make it a surprise it's free on Steam. I finished it in one sitting and it was a relaxing four hours. There are multiple endings so there's a decent amount of replayability value here. While the character creation is bare, the options available are good. Players can choose between a feminine or masculine appearance, then move on to choosing their pronouns and then sexual preferences which drilled down even further making it surprisingly specific. The story was enjoyable and relatable. It follows the MC as they begin pulling themselves out of depression by taking small steps to take better care of themselves, make new connections, and being productive towards their goals. I found myself taking several breaks during my playthrough to focus on my own tasks that I had been putting off. I was disappointed that I couldn't play this on my Steam Deck due to not being able to type in my character's name. There were a few spelling/grammar errors but not many. There were also several scenes that had no music or audio at all which had me at times wondering whether I muted the game on accident. I recommend this game to those looking for a light-heart dating sim about art, mental illness, and getting good at adulting.
