Its just really impressive what a game can do whith a good script, holy f***, you will not regret it. the kind of game you expect nothing from it and it delivers everything

Genuinely, if you can get a group of friends together to play this game alongside you, do it.

I played a full run of this game in a discord vc, where each of my friends took turns meeting the princess, and it was an absolute blast. Each run in with the princess was drastically different from the last, and each reflected my friends in silly ways.

Highlights include:
My friend who questioned everything met the Skeptic, and in the end it was the princess who took initiative because their questions became too much. Our first was our most visceral ending.
My friend who was violently swearing at the narrator the entire time was spouting abridged lines about love and friendship before the Smitten had time to say them.
My friend who likes powerful women turned her into a big angelic dominatrix--

Without spoiling it, this game shows you how each of your decisions become one with the ending. In context to my playthrough, it shows how each of my friends and I made a contribution for ourselves.

It was a wonderful experience to share with them, and I cannot imagine playing this game blind without them. I absolutely recommend sitting with your friends for an afternoon to unravel the mystery with them.

Extremely enjoyable and funny visual novel with a TON of endings that all differentiate, its a lot of fun to just experiment and see what paths you can get. The endings to the story are great as well and tie it up nicely no matter what ending you get

Without a doubt one of the most interesting visual novels I've ever played. From the beautiful art, to the masterful writing, to the immaculate voice acting, this game is a ride the whole way through. I've never played a game like this, and I doubt I ever will. The shock of going in blind and hearing Jon Sims is something no other game could give me. Love these devs, loved following their story, hope they continue to make great games.

A collection of words never heard, rarely said but deeply felt. An ode to Love, to doubt, to trust, to forget, to remember, to try and to begin all over again; all for a higher purpose to collect and store your newfound knowledge in a secret box you don't have direct access to, but nonetheless needed to attempt to build something better next time. And the best part? She knows it too.

The story is pretty cool although somewhat confusing, there's lots of different paths you can take many of which you won't even see by the time you get to the credits of the game giving it a fair bit of replay value
