After reading the description of this game, I nearly skipped it, thinking it'd be another generic dating-sim type of game. I'm so glad I didn't. What appeared on the surface to be a wholesome pixel romance turned out to be a dystopian sci-fi adventure, complete with a twisting narrative that was at times dark, at times sweet, and at times heart-wrenching. While it has its flaws - the puzzles were simplistic enough to be nearly trivial, and some parts of the narrative were a little hard to follow - I still thoroughly enjoyed this game, and in fact it's the first one out of this bundle so far that kept me hooked enough to chase down all the side quests and get that 100% completion. Really a hidden gem, I recommend it.
