The emotional aspect of the game is deeply complex, exploring heavy themes such as trauma, abuse, and personal awakening. Players appreciate the nuanced character backstories that add depth and relatability, contrasting with typical one-dimensional portrayals in similar genres. This emotional richness fosters a stronger attachment to the characters, despite the presence of challenging and sensitive topics.
“I suppose the point is that we all have some emotional baggage.”
“Everyone's just a little 'off' and have touching backstories to explain why, which got me more attached to them than I usually do to the often perfect and one-dimensional yaoi/otome love interests.”
