Super cute game, and I loved the art and music! But in my honest opinion I kind of feel like we (the player) are a kinda shitty partner. The one thing that really got to me was the comment at (one of) the end(ings): "Aren't you trying to lose weight?" (or something along that line.) I think it bothered me because our GF in this game is honestly pretty skinny/average weight already. A bit chubby maybe, but she has no real visible reason to lose weight, and the comment feels harsh and judgy. On top of that, we don't care at all about the ice cream. It's fine to have different tastes, but you should always be supportive of the things your loved ones like (even if they seem gross and silly to you), and it's clear our GF is super into these limited edition ice cream flavours, and it's one of her big interests. Why are we so judgemental and unsympathetic? We also comment on the messy apartment, in a way that, to me, feels rudely directed at our GF. Yes, she's the one who dirtied it, but any good partner would be more focused on their girlfriend's emotional wellbeing and on how distressed she seems, not something as trivial as a messy flat.

Sorry for the really long rambly comment, this game is actually well done and was fun to play, and this is in no way me saying you should have written the partner differently, or that this was a bad game. It's just my critique of the partner character, and kinda also a rant about why you should care about your partner's interests (hint: it's because they're your partner, and you should support them!).

Also, side note, I really really adore our GF's socks hehe. Are those… goose socks layered on top of cat/bear/some other cute creature socks??
Whatever they are, I want them.

Aaa don't worry about it! You're fine! >,<

Regarding their relationship, I consider them at a state when they're comfortable with each other already. So the messy apartment inner thought-comment, questioning MC's silly girlfriend taste is and even the remark about her about losing weight (bcs presumably she mentioned about it before) were all out of MC being honest and comfortable with her. Also, she doesn't tolerate liars (she mentioned it in-game), so I assumed at some point when they started the relationship, they agreed to be honest and open with each other no matter what. I personally like this kind of relationship, so I wrote this with that in mind. :D

In this case, she's fine with all of those and she's not hurt in any way, so don't worry, all is good! They're in a really comfortable relationship together. ^^ I also tried to gave MC options to support her in various ways; either by comforting her feelings or solving her problems. It was quite interesting to write her various reactions to the choices.

Nevertheless I agree with you, it's kind to support our partners and care for their tastes and well-being! Obviously, if we know our partner isn't fine with any of these comments, it's within our judgement to make the best reactions out of the situation.

In this case, MC, um, we tried our best! And she actually moved on pretty fast from this, she's a very happy-go-lucky character. I like her a lot hehe.

And aaa I'm glad you noticed the duck socks!!! I'd love to have one too... 🦆🦆

Thank you very much! It's nice to read your thoughts! ^^ 🍦
