off topic but her room is so cute i need it

Straight up, based off the art style, I didn’t think I was going to like this game. No offense to anyone who likes anime, it’s just never been a thing I could get into. But I respect it. I mention that because, If you’re like me, and have zero interest in anime…do not let that deter you from this game.

I’m almost 4 hours in and I don’t want it to end. It’s got elements of horror, charm, nostalgia, emotion, storytelling. It’s got a lot more than I was expecting. There’s quite a few decently fleshed out mini games in here that can be played for a while when you feel like taking a break, too. Lots of unexpected content.

Performance is great, it’s beautiful, and after playing for a while now, the art design is growing on me. It’s not going to get me to suddenly start watching cowboy bepop or whatever, but it’s got something favorable to it. Almost pleasant lol.

One major con - there’s no steam cloud save support. I really don’t believe a game in 2024/2025 should be allowed to be released without cloud save support. Now, more than ever, we have so many ways to play our games - from Steam Deck, ROG Ally to laptops and gaming PCs. To be locked to one place to play is awful. I understand an hour long walking sim, but that’s not what this is. There’s a multi hour story here, and we should all want that story to be saved, and be allowed to take it with us wherever we want to play.

In any case, there’s a very good reason why this game is Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. Don’t wait for a sale, for $15 it’s a steal and we need more games like this!

10/10
