Together

I like that style

romance simulator!

It is a shame that the developer is removing this for sale, because this is a really beautiful game. Yes, on the surface level this game can appear to be really depressing and bleak, and that can turn a lot of people off from playing it again. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's perfectly okay. However, when you've played through it a few times the deeper message starts to come through; [i] don't lose yourself in the relationship. [/i] I see some people mentioning why do certain things that seem like they would be happy moments in a relationship end up causing stress in the game. For example, "go to the park with them" causes you to gain a couple points of stress. For me, going to the park is something that can potentially be stressful since I have social anxiety and I don't really care to be in public. For someone else this could be stressful because they would rather be doing something else, maybe studying for an exam or being lazy with some Netflix binging. Could that aspect/mechanic of the game be more polished? Absolutely. It shouldn't increase your stress meter every time you go to the park with your partner. The underlying message though is what is important and that is it's okay to take time for yourself. It is okay to have boundaries and to have your space to just do your own thing. If you choose to always go out with your partner - as seen by choosing every one of those options in the game - it can become overwhelming. When do you have time for yourself? When do you have time to decompress if you're always with your partner? So to me, this game is about balancing your wants and time, with the wants of your partner and the time you use to invest in them and the relationship. If you make it to the end without breaking your heart it ends with a very depressing message that some people are very critical about. To that I say who hasn't been bitter after a breakup? This is a very mixed bag for me overall. I can see what the developer is trying to go for, I just wish the mechanics were a little more refined for the message to really come through clearer. I have replayed it a couple times over the years, and it is something I definitely recommend to people to play through at least once.
