THIS IS SO GOOD I HATE IT. I've been unable to focus on work for the past week because ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS GODDAMN COVE. I kindly ask the owner to delete this from the internet. >:(

Jokes aside, I really loved it and can't wait for step 4. One of the best I ever played. The story reaaallly spoke to me and I cared and cried more than I'd like to admit.

It's very inclusive in ways I had never seen, and the player has many many choices along the way. I can't think of a time that I'd like to chose something but couldn't.

Things I'd change/add: (1) an option to have some kind of visual/sprite for the PC, the little doll doesn't cut it for me, but I can see how some would prefer it that way; (2) an option to play the moments from previous steps; (3) the tutorial is really... wordy. too much text and the font doesn't help.

I just finished the demo and I was reeeaaally into the story, buuut I think that *visually*, in the sprites, the characters look somewhat bland and generic. I guess that happens because (1) most of the clothes are very bland (although very realistic) and (2) all the characters have the same nose and mouth. That made it kinda hard for me to want to get to know the characters more and have a relationship with them.
The only exception for me was Tommy, that looks unique and like an important character.
As I said, this only goes for the sprites. In the "cutscenes", the characters looked much better.

I also think it could use a little bit more choices in some situations like a reaction when Tommy is bullied.

THAT BEING SAID, I repeat: I reeeaallly liked the story, great job. I'd very much like to play the full version and have a throuple with Tommy and Ellis 🙃.
