good game, but definitely doesn't feel like a complete story

This game kind of messed with my head a little because on the one hand i got kind of impatient and frustrated having to do the same stuff over again after dying, but on the other hand that's exactly how they wanted me to feel and i basically ended up playing directly into the game's hands. i got called out multiple times for rushing things and blowing off my friends and that did kind of resonate with me a little. that final boss is legit tough, and the thought of having to potentially reset again stressed me the fuck out, but it was meant to be that way so if anything it just make me like the game more. i was into it in a way i normally wouldn't be with this kind of thing. Very good little game, can't wait for Stars and Time to utterly decimate me emotionally
8/10 Siff's just like me frfr

Great art style, characters, and music. The story is pretty cool with a time loop...

However, it is still very much a ln RPG Maker game. I have spent 500+ hours in that program, so all of the defaults they used and the battle system just seemed so bleh to me. Like they have custom music but didn't go for custom sounds? It annoyed me a ton..

Maybe I'll play the sequel. We'll see.

A great first chapter that makes me exited to start the full game. Also, I love the whole rock, paper, scissors weakness system here.

i've written this review multiple times and each time I've somehow lost my writing... it has been a few months spent enamored with baldurs gate three and audio dramas, but let's try a third time!!

a very cute little game with unexpectedly emotional moments! i quickly came to love (and worry for) its unique and entertaining characters. plus it was all wonderfully queer! it was fun to vibe with.

seeing the slight differences in the loops also felt satisfying. the effectiveness of timeloop repetition surprised me - while at times it felt a bit boring or frustrating, it puts you directly into sif's experience... so i think it still did what it set out to do. it's a cool way to emulate lived experience and there's an understanding of mental health that i didn't anticipate. it was well worth the four hour playthrough.

i don't know if i will pick up the full game, however. the short playtime felt perfectly suited to its message and i think repeating dungeons and dialogue for much longer would eventually lose my attention. ...i do have adhd, though. others might really enjoy it!
