I just finished all three routes and this game is so cute! I love all the characters and Iluna is such a lovely MC. The concept is charming, the art is charming, the writing is lovely, and the characters are unique while still maintaining all of the wonderful recognizable qualities of their respective tropes. The UI is simple but pretty, and everything works so well together.
When I started playing, I encountered some of the same issues that others have commented, namely regarding the missing dress assets in a few scenes in Sekheo's route. But I downloaded the updated version and quickly played through it to check for any issues, and it seems the problem has been resolved now. Other than a few typos in Solis' route, the game is very clean and polished and looks great! Thank you for sharing such a sweet story.
I'm about to get spoilery and probably rambling, so heads up to anyone who might see this. if you haven't played the game yet, please do and stop reading this comment now...

I played Sekheo's route first because I was immediately drawn to his character and because Valle is ~my type~ and I wanted to save him for last. I was able to get Sekheo's perfect ending just choosing the options I liked the most, so that was rewarding. His story had a lot of angst and sadness, but it was beautiful, had a lot of depth, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like Sekheo's route was the one that focused the most on the love interest and didn't allow for Iluna's development enough--which was frustrating at times-- but Sekheo is so wonderful that I couldn't be too upset.
I played Solis second and I'm still conflicted on that dude. He's gorgeous, so he has that going for him! I actually really liked him in Sekheo's route, so I was looking forward to playing him next. and I did enjoy his route, but I was only able to get the neutral end at first because whenever I had the chance to call him out on his crap, I did. I preferred the neutral end, I think, because I really liked having the option to effectively say "You're being a jerk right now and I remember when you were a jerk to my friend, too." There were times when he was flustered and sweet that my perpetual frowny face flipped around haha. Really, the most impressionable part of Solis's route were the scenes with Sekheo and Valle. Their budding friendship was adorable, especially in the checkers scene.
Valle. Valle, Valle, Valle. You managed to combine the rogue character and the best friend character into one massively satisfying love interest. I loved his story the most, I think, because it allowed us to explore Iluna's character more. She seemed the most fully realized in Valle's route, and maybe definitely it's me projecting, but I feel like Iluna and Valle had the best chemistry with each other out of the three LIs. One thing I missed in Valle's route was him calling Iluna "Dove" all the time. As they got closer, he dropped the nickname, and I know and understand why that was a deliberate choice, but I admit I found myself missing it a little bit haha. I also felt his ending was more rushed than the other two, and I didn't feel quite as satisfied with the perfect ending as I had with Sekheo and Solis. I loved the scenes with Sekheo in Valle's route, especially all of the times he gave her really, really good advice. He's such a calming character.
Anyway, that was a lot more than I intended to say when I started this, but here we are. This is such a cute project, and I will definitely be sharing it with my friends!
