I've been following Chai's development on this visual novel for the past year and some change and to say that I'm impressed with the final product is an understatement! This visual novel just exudes charm in a way that's hard to put into words. Chai has taken her fantastic world of characters within the Cabaret and has turned it into a vibrant and lively game where you as the player get to explore and really engage one-on-one with anyone of your choosing.
I've laughed out loud multiple times, charmed by the Cabaret and the range of characters found within. (No exact spoilers, but Malbec's entrance and interactions is one of those moments, Cap being a close second for me). I love the representation within the Cabaret as well, from body types to pronouns, it all feels very inclusive to be able to experience as a player.
I'm also impressed with the amount of endings you can achieve, depending on who you talk to and in what order. It gives you a great amount of replay-ability, wondering how you'll get certain endings and what you'll learn about the Cabaret members.
I also LOVE the voice acting: each voice feels like it really fits the character its attached to. The quality is really good and really adds to the immersion of the game. Plus I also immensely enjoyed the background music - felt perfect for the ambience you would expect in an establishment like the Cabaret.
All-in-all, this is a great game to get lost in. This game is so obviously a labor of love and I can't wait to see how Chai expands upon this and the world she's creating, both within her stream as well as within this visual novel/gaming world. As someone who also enjoys making OCs and worlds for them, Chai's work has been a big inspiration of mine for some time. And it's beyond cool to see how all of her hard work has paid off in this project. Here's to whatever's next in the Plaza Promenade!
