I just wanna say, I played this game while it was still in the demo stage and I've never been so incredibly pumped for an indie game to be released! Imagine my joy when I realized the game had come out :) I bought all the DLCs off the bat, and I do not regret it. In a way, this game made me feel like I had reclaimed my childhood, with a supportive and close family, a bunch of great friends and even a healthy first relationship! I don't know how you guys did it, but this game is all but perfect when it comes to simulating that growing-up experience. I actually wanted to act realistically angsty and grumpy as I was when I was a kid, but I just couldn't with how endearing all the characters and my family were.
Thank you so much for this experience, GB Patch. I'll definitely be signing on as a patron once I finish my first playthrough!
