Having played around 40% of the routes, my impression is that this game has some interesting background lore and is great for replayability. Love the pixel portrait art and varied backgrounds. Music got a bit repetitive after a few rounds, but was nice for the most part. I like that you can choose to use they/them pronouns and the presence of a few nonbinary characters. 

Favorite routes were: Bugbear and Huxley.  On the other hand, my expectations were really... turned around in the Eleni/Sirius route... haha... 

Also, I think most of the routes I encountered turned out to be platonic (not necessarily a bad thing, just surprising). Although getting bro-zoned by Ivy hurt a little ;_; 

I'm surprised this game hasn't gotten more popular. I think I would refer to this game as SaintSpell for short when searching online for fan content/discussions.

[Edit after having played more routes]: Here are some more thoughts with possible vague spoilers.

  • I love how certain characters will remember things from previous rounds. Wished that the game's narrative timeline was a bit longer; I know there would be a lot (29!) of characters to scale. Could open some room for developing episodic releases!
  • I thought Aspen's route was nice. His design reminds me of Ky from Guilty Gear 1 and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria.
  • Pursued Eleni route again because :^) but also... what was that 3rd ending
  • Had to take shrooms to get on Arbor's route. That sure was somethin.
  • Old Dude consistently appears in the bathhouse every time I play LOL, but I have not pursued this strange person yet.
