I really wanted to talk about each route, my point of view and I want to make two things clear at first: best game ever and also I NEED A AARON'S ROUTE!!!!
Peter: I was attracted to him right off the bat, I've terrible taste in men so it doesn't surprise me at all lol I followed his route first and then found out we had a recommended order and started doing it! Peter's fun, definitely flirty, but u can tell he really has a big crush on us in literally EVERY route, I think what I really disliked about his route was that we kissed him while he was with Felicity and then he broke up by TEXTING, damn this is a huge red flag (even though Felicity's an insufferable pick me girl and I hate her, she still has feelings) In the end, Peter's that guy who can't be without a girlfriend, only developing his way of thinking later, realizing that he doesn't need a girlfriend to be happy, having other priorities, after all everyone grows up right? In the end it shows a lot the reality of a long distance relationship and also how things change, but despite that he managed to go see us at one of the shows, I think that in this final part it really touched me cuz I already had a long distance relationship when I was younger and I felt just like the MC. But I LOVE Peter, there is no way not to like this piece of heaven haha
Doug: At first I thought I wouldn't like this route, cuz although Doug 's attractive he's not my type in personality, also he's very silly, but he got me eventually. I first felt friend vibes, I would really be friends with Doug IRL, I couldn't see myself dating someone like him. But, with some time on the route, I had a lot of laughs, there were cute moments and he's a lot smarter than he looks, I even found his escape plan to be MUCH better of all the routes, his and Samuel's were amazing. I really like Doug, I found it one of the lightest routes honestly and he's like a golden retriever without a doubt.
Clark: Sorry, nothing to comment, I really don't like Clark :( (I respect those who do) He's a tough nut to crack, but he's ANNOYING and RUDE.
Samuel: This one here is the real GOAT! Samuel's not only quiet and mysterious, he's reserved, polite, sweet, funny, handsome, he's PERFECT! There is not a bad bone in his body, I swear. I love Peter, but I would easily choose Sam over him, he's my type on paper. The date with him was also so good and sweet, although he's very perfectionist and needs to relax, I think it only loses to Tom's date (he was a genius!!) I also identified a lot with his personality and ways of thinking or acting, I think that's also why he has a special place in my heart, he' also mature and honestly the best option of the whole camp. (yes I love him, I'm obsessed)
Poptart (Melvin): At first it was Peter and Poptar that caught my attention, I felt so sorry for how the others treated him (especially Olive and Mr. Wiley) He's sweet, and he definitely has yandere vibes (I love it hehe) He's the most well written here, his story is so rich and go real deep, I just wanted to protect him from everything and everyone, he already had so many problems that seeing someone mistreating him made me really mad. The parts of his ramblings and when he starts hallucinating made me almost cry, and my eyes filled with tears when he falls off the cliff. Pop's the golden boy for me, he'll LITERALLY kill for u, ride or die, he's also a bit creepy in some actions but I like it that way, I also understand that a lot of his attitudes come from PTSD, anxiety, depression and other things, and if it was up to me I would follow his route a thousand times just so he would have someone forever on his side and who loves him. MEL, WE LOVE U LITTLE BUDDY <3 (I wrote that with Doug's voice in my head lmao)
Tom: Who doesn't like a friends to lovers? Well, it's Tom so obviously the route is amazing. I'm a lazy gamer who loves to eat same as Tom, my friends who usually drag me to do other things or not give up even on my own hobbies (yep, not a good thing) Tom's our sunshine, without him the game would have a huge hole that only he can fulfill. Only I thought his date was genius??? I was SHOCKED when I found out I was living a game "IRL", I would have married him right there if I could, it was so cool! Also I almost cried with him too, I wanted to get all the bad endings and his death scenes almost make me cry, it hurt me to do those endings, the pain of everyone, especially Peter makes anyone feel bad...
Now I have a question, is the "final end" the true ending? It would make sense if it was, I also liked the references it had from the other routes, I HATED Wiley until I saw this end haha
