I haven't even finished one playthrough yet, but I can't stop myself from commenting. This. Is. Phenomenal!?!
I have been smiling for an hour straight. My cheeks hurt. This is the cutest game?!? The server is amazing, I love every single character and they are all my children. They all have such unique and consistent and realistic personalities and it's just. Amazing. This makes me so happy. Like, I think it's going to be my new go-to comfort game. I can't wait to finish it, but at the same time I don't want to finish it. I love the server setup! It's such a unique way to code a renpy game. I haven't had this much fun since miraclr (I only mention it because it had a chat feature, too. This game feels completely unique in every other aspect!)
I gave this game 5 stars after the first 15 minutes of gameplay, but I'll come back with a proper review after I actually finish it haha. Great job, devs!
Edit: Someone please tell me why I just let a fictional man convince me to download FFXIV?? What am I doing??
Edit again: Okay, I finished all of the routes and. Wow. I love this game. I can't wait to see more from you guys. The extra epilogue you unlock at the end was so, so, so perfect. I have a crush.
Before I started playing, I was most intrigued by Nightowl. And for the first 15 or so minutes, I was convinced he was going to be my favorite route. So I decided to play Quest's route first because I entirely expected it to be a "get it out of the way" type situation. But I loved it and him so much?!? By the time I played Nightowl's route, I was still just thinking about Quest. Then I played Toasty's route and just... poor Nightowl. I do love him as a character, and his route was fun and charming, but it admittedly felt unbalanced. Obviously Toasty's route is going to be the meatiest because it's the "true" route and you uncover the big mystery of the server, but Quest's route had a lot of satisfying extra bits that I felt like Nightowl's was lacking a little bit. Altogether, all three routes were great. If I had to rank them, it would go: 1. Toasty 2. Quest 3. Nightowl.
But we all know the true hero of the game is xyx my beloved.
