I had been planning to play RtF for a while now, and only just now got to it. I knew almost nothing about it when going into it. I had only seen Cooper's, Artemis's, and Aaron's sprites. I hadn't seen what any of the other characters looked like. I didn't know what genre this was. I assumed based on fanart of Cooper that it was going to be a dating sim or something. Instead, what I read was so much better than I imagined.
I love how Cyrus was written. He went through a lot of character growth and fought to have agency. I like his design as well.
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about Artemis. I saw his sprite linked somewhere before and thought he looked cute, but also saw someone say he's evil. One of the main reasons I decided to play RtF was to see what kind of character he actually was. It turns out, I like him a lot. He's such a witty asshole and due to the PoV we see during his scenes, his antics are satisfying to see. He's an entertaining villain rather than someone you're meant to outright hate.
The dynamic between the resistance team members is entertaining. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about Silver at first, but I quickly grew to like him a lot. I might be slightly bias towards foxes, but shh. He seems like a cool knife buddy to hang out with.
But yeah, this is definitely an amazing vn and I really enjoyed the experience.
