“Normally I would not like music like that, but it complements the odd feel of the game overall.”
“The style of music, the patchy clothing, the dramatic but heartfelt dialogue, and the lofi nature and city imagery, including the landscapes... I even signed the last character I roleplayed off with 'think of me in the spring.'”
“The music, too!!”
