So much potential
I was so fucking hyped for this y'all. To give this all the credit it deserves, I will say how much I appreciate seeing a lesbian video game not even trying to cater to the male gaze even the slightest bit. There is a desperate gap in the market for this sort of content.

HOWEVER, the execution of this game just didn't cut it. The resolution of the central mystery was a let down and drastically reduced the game's replay value, the relationship developments were unsatisfying, and the art style didn't do it for me. I get the feeling that the banned content effected the vibe of the game to a massive degree. If I were you, I'd find a version of the original game, rather than the steam version. (Check trigger warnings first tho pls.)
I am gonna try playing a different route to see if it can change my mind though, so watch this space.
