This game remains one of my favourites in character writing but the gameplay doesn't lag far behind. The writing is an interesting exercise in seeing how hard characters can refuse to change when the world needs them to. The gameplay is tight and snappy and is graced with some very fun boss fights.
At its heart, Life After Magic is a proper magical girl story that examines common themes like friendship during struggles, staying true to yourself and finding hope to overcome fear but with a focus on common struggles of adulthood.
This game does a very interesting thing the way it uses the magical girl theme to examine some very common real-life struggles. I like how compassionate it is in regards to how lost people feel once they reach adulthood, and how that feeling of being lost can linger around for a very long time. It uses its theme to look at a lot of different angles to the same struggle that is shared between all the main characters of this VN, which makes it feel like a very thorough examination of adulthood.
The epilogue ties up everything nicely and in a satisfying way too. I definitely recommend checking that one out once you finish the main game.

Incredibly relaxing game to boot up to wind down a little. Literally fishing-minigame made into a full blown game in all the best ways possible. Time flies as you try to complete your fishing log and upgrade your boat to catch even more fish. Great game.
