Almost paradoxical how much this feels like a project started in the early COVID era but isn't.
Not that character-driven visual novels dealing with isolation/depression weren't dime a dozen even cutting it down to just the Western ones but the main crux of the story hinges on how 2 different people handle being mostly by themselves.

Your choices ultimately leading to very drastic outcomes is obviously overdone but it works for the very brief runtime, there's also a bit of a timeloop thing implied but I'm assuming that's just to incentivize multiple playthroughs since the first thing I instinctively went for caused definitely the worst result.

Evidently overhated as another le epic cringe video game about young people with their dumb slang in the tune of Life is Strange which is funny in this case because this one literally costs you nothing except half an hour at most and 50 MB.
I have to wonder what it is about games like this that keeps drawing in dolts that can't put down their guard for even a second or worse just preemptively decided what they'd think ahead of time, it'd be funny if it wasn't mostly sad.


Also possibly the only work that'll ever exist to say trans rights and namedrop Harry Potter, this actually could not have happened at any other time.
