I'm 26 and don't usually enjoy games about teens, because I'm a grown man and struggle to relate beyond hindsight. But I am also a gay trans man. In a way, this let me engage with the fantasy of an idyllic childhood and first serious boyfriend as a trans teenager (something many of us don't get to experience) in a way that left me feeling nostalgic and sentimental, rather than sad and kind of bitter. Thoughtfully written, this is on my "list of games that are free but absolutely worth money". A wholesome game that's something of a balm, given the times.

I can relate to you, I am also a gay trans male and it is very hard to find media featuring transgender people, especially the FTM community, and even harder still, is finding media about FTM guys who are gay or bisexual. I am glad this game exists for many reasons, and I've always wanted more visual novels that showed the passage of time.
