regarding the ending, which i won't spoil for anyone (i believe everyone should experience things for themselves before thinking something), it was underwhelming and lackluster. the "twist" truly is not as shocking as i feel others in the comments make it out to be. i think if you thinked about it for more than a minute you'd understand. the buildup also wasn't very satisfactory, it felt like it was stolen from us because nothing came from it.
while seeing lgbtq+ rep is awesome in video games (one of the reasons i appreciate itch.io so much), it's very on the nose for some characters. some characters their flags are incorporated as something small like pins or bracelets, or sometimes even the color scheme of their outfit... and others blatantly wear their flags. it was a little distracting seeing a flag bannered across a character like that. some character designs felt like that was their focal piece(?) because it stood out so much from their palette.
other than that, i did enjoy interacting with all the characters and guessing the right choices. the art is cute, and the characters all have their own unique personalities. it's a nice little surprise seeing characters from previous chapters pop up later on and seeing how they interact with other characters. from my understanding, the characters also show up in other games made by arcadekitten. so i'll definitely be checking it out.
overall, it was a very enjoyable experience but lost me on the final chapter, i wish there were more endings.
