my thoughts...














Truthfully in a way I liked that there's no 'happy' ending, it's somewhat realistic as Lillian's relationship with the boys is kinda purely lustful, in that yeah they have chemistry, but the life or death situation of being a spy simply heightens the feeling. Also thinking about it was hinted with Emile saying 'being in love is different from being involved'. In a way, it reminded me of  'la la land'. 

BUT I actually somewhat wish we got an epilogue as the endings felt quite abrupt, and I didn't feel satisfied.

I feel for the price we should have gotten more content, as compared to other games e.g. Red Embrace Hollywood, and Bandcamp Boyfriend. There's a lot more content there and in a way, they're better written.

I...honestly kind of agree with you. 

I think the game is absolutely beautiful and clearly a lot of love has been put into  it, but I feel like the quality of the writing dipped a bit after the demo. The demo pacing is also a lot slower compared to the main game, and I didn't enjoy Anton's route half as much as I did Emile's route (especially where you don't call out Denham.)

Lillian immediately getting in with Anton also just...confuses me. XD

YESSSSS my goodness, I’m so happy you agree with me. Anton was done so dirty. 

Looking back I was so angry because I brought the game because of him and he wasn’t written well. So that’s half the game gone to shit (ur so much nicer than me). And I even played his route last because I thought his route would be the best.

And  I’m  not joking about being mad, I literally wrote a scathing review in the comments warning people not to buy this game because in my opinion it’s not worth $15.

But if this game was free. The courage of writing a romance with truly bitter sweet endings would make me give the game 4/5 stars. Especially since it’s their first game.


Truthfully I believe the devs clearly have talent and are good at writing.  I think they just need to get better proof reader, cause the people who let them publish Antons route (shame on them) and spend more time on the game, as it came out really quickly.

I wish there was a way I could DM you, lol, I don't often meet people who share my opinions on writing online, I feel like I come across too high and mighty, haha.

I'm Mimxism on discord if you'd like to chat more, got a girl with black hair in dark pink as my pfp.

In part, I think I would have been more okay with the bitter sweet endings if the pacing were different, or the like.

As it is, I'm honestly just...well, disappointed.
