I found this while doom scrolling for completed visual novels and I’m honestly so glad I decided to play it. The story is beautifully written—even though it deals with a sensitive topic, it’s handled with so much care and respect. It never felt inappropriate or invalidating, just really honest and real.
The characters are amazing. I’ve met someone like Aran in real life, and seeing how realistically they were written hit me hard. The emotional moments got to me, and I seriously wish there was a sequel or extra content with Aran and Caleb just being domestic and happy.
I really appreciate the clear trigger warnings too. And the music? So good. The music box scene in one of the endings nearly made me cry. The backgrounds were also super impactful too! Every time I saw Caleb’s grandparents’ house, I felt this mix of sadness and nostalgia.
Definitely checking out the dev’s other games. This one really stuck with me. Thank you for making something so special.
