I'm not a VN player, I don't read romance and I'm not usually an emotional man. I am however gay and stuck in bed with a chest infection. For some reason I decided to play this and god damn am I glad that I did. I got fully sucked into this and I'm a bit stunned considering I was expecting something contrived and to heavily pander to LGBT+. Instead I got a truly emotional and charming story. I love the 4 life stage format. I love the characters. I love the sheer volume of choices and different outcomes/scenes. I'm pretty sure I nearly cried at least once - a new experience for me! Big thanks to the dev(s) for this, it's helped me pass the last few days being stuck in bed.
