omg this is such a sweet comment, thank you! i left the timeline a little loose/ambiguous between treat and starry flowers, mostly because i wanted to include the cameos more than i wanted it to be 100% accurate. there's a lot of starry flowers stuff in syrup 2 (still in development), and the timeline is EXTRA loose there because days pass according to player actions. so i was thinking of each game as having its own timeline but still hitting all the right story beats, with starry flowers itself being the "official" version.
thanks for playing my games, i'm always really happy to hear when someone loves them this much ^^
