lot of cute ideas but ultimately not executed in a way that's interesting or distinct from other "heckin' wholesome games that turns out to be a SCARY game". it plays its hand way too early with no buildup and barely tries to even hide the genre mix-up midway through, leading to a woefully boring and overplayed yandere-type antagonist at the end of the road.

thank god we're out of this era of storytelling in gaming, it should've died with doki doki.

a fun experience at best but dreadfully overhyped and unoriginal at worst.
