(You had forgotten)

Pretty typical 'pick-me kid trying and failing to hide mental illness' RPGMaker vent thing, but there's freckles of ingenuity that make it a great experience. Lovely character design and art direction all-around - the whole cast's lovable and impossible not to root for. There's a few moments (especially after the big True route breakdown) of self-reflection and self-destructive retreat that make it hit really hard. Very easy to fall into the 'woe is me' trap with writing these stories but there's those slivers where Siffrin feels ashamed for not showing the same concern to their friends that they do to them, and that really sets it apart in the larger sea. Cyclical depression closes us out from others.

And then they end on an 'IT WAS ALL A DREAM' and it pissed me off lmao

Thanks to Darias for the code and recommendation, very neat overall
