Very chill narrative experience. Mechanically the game feels fair, giving you enough information to be able to work out what a character wants without making it completely obvious, and a little room to experiment or try again if you think you got it wrong.

The narrative is pretty laid back, the drama mostly coming from the personal lives of the characters. The world seems fairly well imagined and fleshed out, with the exception of a couple of very weird elements that stand out even compared to the rest of the setting. I'm not 100% complaining here as my favourite character is one of those incongruous elements.

At points the story touches upon some subjects such as using the private lives of real people as subject matter and the translation of racial issues to fictional worlds and never really follows up on either of these topics, despite seeming to indicate that it will.

Finally there is a late game revelation that comes out of nowhere and doesn't really seem to impact the narrative or otherwise serve any real purpose. It doesn't spoil the story or my enjoyment of it, it just seems like poor utilization of a concept i've seen used well elsewhere.
