Overall, this was a really cute and fun game. The central love story was sweet, although there were some opportunities for drama and complexity that I felt like got skirted over. The other characters were also compelling, and there was one twist that genuinely got me!

Combat was more complex than I was expecting, in a good way - I'm used to RPGs giving you obvious best choices for weapon and gear, but almost every piece of equipment in this game had trade-offs, which made strategizing way more fun.

I had my issues with a few aspects of gameplay and a couple one-off jokes that I felt weakened the story and characters, but overall this was a great time. I had to fight the urge to play it again by reminding myself this dev has plenty of other games I haven't tried yet.
