I loved every second of the demo. The calm vibes it gives you, the excitement, the different options. I just love it so much. (And I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes. English it's not my native language!)
Here's the things I most loved and appreciated of the game:
1— The music. I loved the music so far, it relaxed me the first time I played. And I loved the detail of being able to choose the music when you are in the main menu.
2— The background drawings and the little details and effecs; they're just... perfect! The small but beautiful details of falling leaves in the place where you meet Tamarack, the sun's rays, also the blurred effects. I love 'em. I just love them so much!
3— The MC customization, from the appearance to the pronouns. It is very cute and so good to make your MC to look like whatever you want. And being able to put your pronouns it's so good. And I really like the fact that you can have freckles, vitiligo, heterochromia and birthmarks! It's something I loved!
4— The multiple options. You can be from shy, to cheerful, quiet, unsociable or confident with the choices you select! And let the characters adjust through your opinions it's just so amazing. When I was playing like the shy gal, I loved the fact that the characters tried to be calm and slow down for me, or even help me. It's amazing.
5— The chibi of the characters when they're talking. They're so cute, and I love them so much. And the fact that the MC also can have that it's so cute.
6— The fact that some things about the appearance give an extra dialogue! When Tamarack notices that the MC has heterochromia or two colours on their hair or both it's cute! And when you use a bandage Qiu ask about it and looks worried— it's so lovely! And when you have a birthmark Baxter mentions it and gives you a compliment!
7— The development of the characters; Qiu questioning if they really identifies as the gender they were born with it's something that I loved the most. It makes me happy because I have some friends that were going through that situation. And the fact that they went from being a kid that was very welcoming at the beginning from being teenager who now doesn't care about being nice or welcoming with people it's amazing, and even relatable for some people.
And Tamarack; the girl who was extremely energetic, loud and loved being in the forest became a young lady who now was self-conscious of her looks and what impression she gives. (Or at least that it's what I see.) It's pretty relatable to me. When I was little I didn't care as much as I looked and I was more carefree, but now being a teenager I have become more and more self-conscious about myself and my appearance. And some other people maybe would feel like that.
8— Lastly, what I loved the most was Qiu, Darren and Tamarack. Qiu being welcoming, carefree and sweet with the MC was so, so lovely. This kid has my heart, really. The cool and welcoming kid that makes you feel better and comfortable. Darren, even though he hasn't been very welcoming and kind at the beginning, he's still cute. And Tamarack, the little girl with sparkling hair that it's sweet and energetic, I liked her. Even though she is a little intense, she's still sweet like a cookie.
And that's all what I can write! I would have written some more things, but it would be so much text to read. I loved this game. Thank you so much for creating this lovely game! :D
