was following development for this circa 2021 after getting hooked on hello charlotte for a little while but for whatever reason never played on release. another etherane win. holy based.
A cute, sci-fi dystopian visual novel that dwells on the inhumanity of capitalism, and the difficulties of being thrust into such a system from a young age. Lovely world-building, and charming characters carry this experience. For most of it, the writing is really strong. Though within few moments, I feel like the plot meanders a bit. My thoughts on the soundtrack are complicated. Most of the time, it felt like stock music with no consideration for the scene at hand. Though a few tracks are really unique, and charmed me. Overall, a solid little experience.
I want these characters in amigurumi plushies so fcking badly dude
baffling how unique of an experience this game is and how it manages to do so much with the short amount of time i had with it.
It's held back by the underbaked puzzle segments, but it's still a fun collage of comedy, horror, and social commentary with a gloriously convoluted setting. Love the characters and ambiguity. Another Etherane win, keep making games queen.
