After having taken a nap (because, to be honest, this game had me so interested that I might've messed up my sleep schedule adjfndsmf) I can say that even after awaking, this game is still something that was on my mind and I felt the need to leave a comment :) This game is one of the most beloved that I have played in a long while? I came into it thinking that it would just be a fun, cute little short game where I would get to the end fast and remember it as a "fun little experience" but I instead I found myself having to personally pause and take a walk around my room because of these amazing, sweet characters. As someone who is also currently coding a visual novel, I was just so caught off guard by live like the characters were, ESPECIALLY Artemis. I would pause the game and kind of just sit on the save/load screen just wondering "Is this a conversation the creator actually had????" because the dialogue, the way characters spoke, the way they reacted, their feelings, desires, interests, it all felt so unbelievably natural, as if they were entirely just based off real people and it was so easy to loose myself in the story and feel completely welcomed into this wonderful world you have weaved :) (it probably also helps that i've been in some of those exact situations with actual friends- especially the hunting for the awful shirts, thrift stores are great i swear)
And to top it all off, I look at this page, wanting to see other peoples comments, wanting to know if anyone else had the amazing experience that I had and I see that the creator is absolutely interested in feedback and is responding to people! It's kind of a weird comment to make, maybe??? But it always makes me smiles when I see people being actively interested in what they've crafted and it brings even more of a smile to my face when the creator seems like such an honest and nice person with how their responding and I have to sit there with a big dorky smile and just "Wow, a win for the community, creator is kind person, funny person, type of person that I wanna be friends with :)"- I don't know if that explanation makes any sense or comes off as dumb but whatever uhjdsakfdsjm
My point is that this game is now on my lists of "Amazing games that make me smile with Amazing creators that I wanna be friends w/ :DDD"
