I think it's hard to create a game that is both charming yet covers serious topics simultaneously. If you mess up just slightly it'll feel either disrespectful or edgy. I feel like this game found a nice balance that allowed it to pull off what it meant to well.

Emotional status effects in battle resulted in some nice strategizing, although I do think some parts of the game drag on.

Overall I enjoyed this game more than I thought I would. It's a great indie game that I personally think surpassed a few of the games it's based on.
