I bought this on a whim because the sale price dropped it to about $2 grand total. I went into it expecting very little and thought I knew the upcoming storybeats as the narrative started to form. I was right about some of them, but I did not in any way predict the jarring reveal on the lead-up to to the finale. Go in blind as possible, be ready to eat ♥♥♥♥ a couple times due to bad RNG, and simply let the story unfold. You'll come out of this one a little different than you were before. A charming and unfortunate game.

Wonderful game, short, sweet, and with lovely music

Bizarre. Funny. Memorable.
