For the first 30min or so I didn't like the whole eraser controls thing. I understood its meaning with the idea that trans is creation, but I found the controls tiring and repetitive already. But when the story finally picked up and became more emotional I was able to look past the exhausting erasing. Few video games have made me cry but this one did so there's that too
I went in as blindly as I could, just knowing from comments and reviews that this game was likely exactly the type of game for me and it was!! I loved every second of it and felt so engrossed in the plot and these characters. I thought it would be some edgelord nonsense, but it was surprisingly sweet and hilarious if you let it be. It was such a fascinating and ingenious game with character, personality and decision-making completely steering your adventure.
Also I love Kim Kitsuragi so much.....loml

Both a compliment and a complaint, but I wish we just had more. I know the limited pov is the whole point, but I thought the world and the characters were so fascinating that as they were tying up loose ends I thought to myself, "oh so this is about to end already?" For example, one of my fave parts was reading the newspaper headlines every day because it was fun learning about stuff beyond the coffee shop. Also, I appreciate that it tried to talk about timely topics, but these discussions didn't feel well-written enough to have real impact on me as a viewer. It was nice but barely thought-provoking.
Otherwise, I thought this was generally a super cozy, cute and chill game. I've never played that valhalla game so I have nothing to compare it to either. I'd play it again to revisit these characters and bask in lo-fi music and rain sounds tbh

Is it wrong to write a review when I didn't finish the game? Well, anyway, after my few hours in I can say I loved the music, character design and plot. I also loved the animation styles. I just hated the traversal, and it was annoying enough to turn me away from the game for now. I don't know if I was playing it wrong or if i'm dumb as hell, but the map was incredibly unhelpful. Often I lost so much time just trying to figure out how to walk from point A to point B. I got frustrated.
