This is a cool relaxing puzzler. It has some kinks, but overall I had 6 very fun hours. I love the presentation, all of the designs are very cool, the puzzles are nice and there's a ton of different ways you can end up. The New Game + system was really cool, and I will probably play again.

My biggest gripe (except an autosave issue that I encountered, and the most tyrannical parent-to-child relationship ever) is that it seems extremly hard to find someone to become partners with. During my six hours I tried my luck with three meaningful relations with my first boy-character, and got friendzoned every time. During my second playthrough with a girl character, the guy admit his feelings for me - but turned out to have extreme social issues with sexuality and anything even remotely close to romantic feelings. I don't know how the current system works, but it really does seem like if you don't pick 90% of the (correct) romantic options whenever you get them, you are doomed to end up with a "randomized ending partner after highschool".

It's a real shame, because at the end of the game you are really attached to your character, and it leaves a little bit of a bitter taste. I would have loved my next character to have my earlier romantic relationship as the father/mother, but instead I get the genes of a random npc that shows up for the last five seconds of the ending.

This review is however written during the first day of release, and maybe the game will be adjusted in the future. All in all, I had great fun for six hours for a very low price, and I would recommend this game to anyone that feels like it's right up their alley. Presentation-wise, it really is amazing.
