finished my first time through the game yesterday, it's indeed very wholesome! The writing is very fluid and cute, the character sprites compliment the whole atmosphere beautifully and the music does it's job without being too much of a presence (which I would find annoying in a game about staying in a cabin in the middle of nature).

I mainly focused on Rune (I'm a sucker for jocks, and eventually jockstraps) and was surprised by the depth of his personality. All of the interactions with him felt natural and didn't feel like things were moving too fast (that is a problem I often find in these free to play visual novels, not here though!) Also appreciated that even though I focused on one character everyone else had a chance to shine.

The difference in art style from character sprite to CG illustration was kinda jarring at first, but it really isn't a problem, both styles are very good and similar enough. It was just surprising to see Rune go from very cute boy deer to hunky 20 something year old in the jacket scene, his biceps are appreciated though, and the illustrations themselves are drawn very well.

Last comment I have is about the general atmosphere of the game, which is lovely. As a foreigner, I lived in Denmark until I finished high school just last year and these Nordic vibes brought me right back. Of course Norway is way different, but the vibes are close enough. Mikko is actually SO similar to my old friend I had a crush on that I thought I was being pranked, the awkwardness between the protagonist and him is very relatable.

Overall, lovely game, with an equally lovely (and consistent, very important aspect of it) atmosphere and likable cast of characters. The artstyle is very polished and is well accompanied by the music, can't wait to see more, I think I'll be giving a bit of support on patreon as soon as I can :D
