Discovered this game on Steam a while back and purchased it. Only recently played it due to time/etc.
I really like the character design as well as the way that the oppressiveness of Robin and Sally's relationship is portrayed. The writing is such that I feel the burned out and hopelessness of the MC.
Bell is such an amazing character and such... a viable escape for the MC. The themes it touches on are definitely worth the warning. :) But I really liked the story and how it meshed supernatural with mundane world problems and situations. I also love the arrangement and timing of characters where the MC is with Bell only in certain situations.
OMG.... the ending... (no spoiler here) it was definitely the expected direction... but wow. Still very intensely presented.
Not sure if it was intended this way, but as the story progressed, I kinda grew to understand why Sally treats him the way she does. Why their relationship is the way it is.
Very beautifully written.
I saw that there is a Mac version here so purchased the game here as well.
Also picked up the sequel and Lily to understand the stories and how they might deepen the context.

so I bought this and tried playing it on my Mac OS X M1 14.4 (Sonoma) and had trouble running the game.app and the nwsj. I DID get it working on my Mac by doing the following:
# Open a Terminal Session cd /Applications/My\ Neighbor\ Enide/Game.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/ python3 -m http.server 5000 # Now point your web browser at http://localhost:5000
This will let you run the game via the web browser. Thankfully, RPG Maker MZ exports in a format that is heavily Javascript and HTML based.
