wow!! i do not normally play visual novels or romance stuff but this popped up on my feed and i just decided to click it. and i got all three endings!!!
this game accomplishes a lot with such an intentionally small scope. i especially enjoyed how the narrative themes of agency interact with the 'choose your own adventure' gameplay. and even though the player ultimately has no choice in what will happen to them, they're still encouraged to replay and try other routes because of the compelling worldbuilding you're rewarded with.
on top of all that, the character dynamic is so unique in how it portrays a controlling, abusive environment yet never milks it for cruelty. kataja is also never really shown as interested or uninterested in romance, which prompts the player to pine for the toxic yuri and seek it out lol. so fun.
mb for the essay i'm just a little out of my depth here so i didnt know how to say it short! but this is super cool! keep making stuff!!
