(Small edit to congratulate you all for the translation! You can now play this game, give it a try!)
I'm not sure I this is a good game per se. I had to watch a manually translated gameplay and it looks kind of crazy and nonsensical, much like Re:Kinder, Parun's most popular game. The colors are extremely saturated and it is hard to follow the plot sometimes. I think that's kinda the point, though. It is as messy as its main character, and there is a good reason for it. Parun did a really good job at portraying the consequences of abuse and neglect.
There is one thing I can say for sure, though. This game was so personal it hurts. Not sure if it was a vent project, but Parun's whole heart was put into it and it shows. The depictions of homophobia and internal struggles are way too pure and real. They are confusing, like a fever dream. They feel weird, but somehow really natural. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet this game.
