  • Diverse and well-developed cast of characters with authentic representation of LGBTQIA+ identities and neurodiversity, making them feel real and relatable.
  • Engaging and heartfelt storylines across multiple routes with significant player choices affecting the narrative and relationship outcomes.
  • Beautiful, colorful artwork paired with partial voice acting that enhances character personalities, plus a rich soundtrack and well-crafted world-building.
  • Slower pacing in the prologue which may deter some players from continuing initially.
  • Main character (MC) is perceived as flat or lacking development, with limited agency in some routes, leading to less emotional investment.
  • Lack of in-game achievements, detailed character logs, or a glossary for lore and endings reduces motivation to explore all routes and keep track of story details.

  • story

    The story receives praise for its engaging character routes, inclusive representation, and imaginative afterlife setting, with choices that feel meaningful and a heartfelt, well-integrated narrative. While some find the prologue slow and certain plot points inconsistent or less emotionally impacting, many appreciate the clever writing, memorable characters, and overall depth that make the story compelling and replayable. The blend of humor, drama, and diverse perspectives contributes to a rich, immersive experience that resonates strongly with players.

    • “The story was engaging for every character, and it felt like your choices genuinely mattered rather than you just being pulled along, as if watching a movie.”
    • “Honestly, this game has got to be one of my favourite games like ever <3 playing through all the routes, getting to know more about the MC and other characters, the story and the world it all takes place in, the various representation makes me love this game so much.”
    • “The story is absolutely top-tier, every character has a special something that brings them to life in the best way possible, and the copious amounts of fourth-wall breaks and jokes are perfectly placed.”
    • “The moment you go down a character-specific route everything flows better, it's the prologue that can deter people from continuing the game because of the pacing, which is sad because the moment I got past the prologue I instantly fell in love with the characters, their specific plots and the general storyline.”
    • “But this felt very 'I have great lore to tell' (it was an interesting spin) and the impact of the main character was minimal, as in I could have watched this as an animated video for the story rather than click through it.”
    • “There is literally no emotional involvement in the story; there are a lot of worse stories with better involvement.”
