Hello! Thank you so much. We're happy you enjoyed the pacing and relationship flow of the game.
We have to admit, everyone on the team is a lover of slow-burn romances xD We spent a lot of time thinking about the character's relationship dynamics; which of the character's traits would clash against each other, and how the main story events could help the characters get closer. In a way, we just put the characters next to their story and wondered how they'd react to them, and how they can grow from that point :D
Glad it seems to have worked out in the end!
