I enjoyed this game thoroughly. I downloaded it after glimpsing at the title and art, going in completely blind, and I enjoyed every bit. I have a series of compliments:
(Spoilers Ahead for those who have yet to play the game):
- THANK YOU for allowing us to change the font style. The original one matches the game aesthetic well, but it was really hard to follow with the beautiful art and the tippy-tappy sounds when in dialogue. I appreciate the second font very much. I used it throughout the entire game.
- Despite not having a lot of BGM, I enjoyed how the text and art together brought the story to life. I thought that was rather impressive actually, as the mood of game scenes are usually carried mostly by their soundtracks. Very good use of it at the end when Egen gave us his watch. It was so stinking cute.
- I enjoyed how realistic it was when Egen interacted with Earth. The way how he described it and the subtle jokes (ESPECIALLY the one about meat in the supermarket) is a 10/10. I'd giggle and kick my feet like a schoolgirl. And my GOD when we got to see his tongue??? At the picnic? I squealed yf. My imagination went very wild (similarly to the Mature option of mentioning that we masturate to relax?? Which is real asf btw, the scene just took me by surprise cause again, went into this blind, didn't regret it, loved the makeout scene and getting him hard. Amen.)
- I didn't like Andelle at first. Or Nabo, actually. Before I get into it, Nabo's design??? Peak. I audibly gasped when I saw him. Would sit on him for sure. The characterization for both was done pretty well. I wouldn't have believed we got a lil character progression in three hours of gameplay (well done <3). Back to the original point, yeah, I thought they were just Egen's servants. I thought Andelle was just around to make Egen's life miserable and Nabo only cared about tasks. I enjoyed seeing a different side of them by the... morning of the second date! Didn't think I'd be whooping alien ass with slippers, but it made my day. Humanized their character and I loved to see it. Lynne referring to them by nicknames was pretty endearing. Referring back to the scene at the end where Egen gave us his watch and we declared that we'd miss him, I liked that they got to mess around and have fun.
- THE HUMOR IN THIS GAME IS ON POINT OMG xD. It's that subtle dry humor done right. When I told Egen I didn't want a husband and he offered to be my wife INSTANTLY, I was hooked on the game. I couldn't stop cackling my ass off dawggg xD. It was so flipping funny.
- I liked how I never knew when to expect the alternate endings xD. The one where you agreed to marry Egen from the get-go and have 18 kids together took me out. Again, claps to the scriptwriters. Gave me a nice chuckle with how out of pocket it was.
- I WOULD PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR A LONGER VERSION OF THIS GAME. Or DLCs. We could have so much more fun spending time together on Earth with Egen, or exploring his home planet! I'm so curious about their way of life and technology.
- I also admired how everything wasn't revealed upfront at once. Like the name of the watches, Egen's last name, etc. It felt natural with how we were exposed to that information.
- The tidbit where you get to choose the activity to relax, and you get to choose "Watching TV". I didn't actually expect to get emotionally attached to a fictional show within a fictional game. Could just be me, but I really enjoyed having a story within a story. I would actually watch it if it was an anime. The point is: script was good. I was enthralled by the performance of... Tee (forgot her name) and her passion about textiles and how she tried to find her family with her rival. Beautiful story.
I believe that's all my comments. I seriously enjoyed this so much and it was better than I expected. My only issue is that when looking back at the Log, the top half of all the words are missing. I'd appreciate having that fixed <3.
Time to play it again and try for new endings and interactions (just realized I never figured out who won the sandwich-making competition lol).
