It's funny how making all your citizens cute little beavers makes you more motivated to build a cozy, stable life for them.
Altogether very fun, but, as of me writing this, it's unfortunately possible to fall into the rut of having unlocked everything interesting and upgraded all your resource-gathering as much as you feel you need to. In other words, you can reach the point where you little motivation to keep playing beyond slightly improving your city. I've run into this when it comes to the few other resource-management/city sims I've played before, so I don't know if this is just what is considered the "end-game" of this type of game or there's an issue with the way I play.
In any case, it's kept my attention for 60 hours and counting, so that's gotta count for something. Slightly steep learning curve, but addicting as hell. I very much look forward to what this game will become with more updates.

Pros: Death is a perfectly crafted babygirl tsundere who swings between sexy and adorable without missing a beat. Having a dating sim where you only date one character means they have to nail that character, and I think they succeeded; I never get bored of talking to this beautiful boy.
Cons: MC is filthy Millenial scum.

I didn't expect how much I'd ADORE this game. This thing is like a hilarious fever dream with really good pixel art, until it suddenly pivots into tugging at your heartstrings at the end of every route. Think Hatoful Boyfriend with less worldbuilding and on 10x the crack.
It's obvious where some liberties were taken with the translation- there're some very obviously Western-exclusive references inserted- but the game itself is already such a fever dream that said translations never feel out-of-place, and are always hilarious.
Went for Marshmallow first but ended up converting to thinking Saeki Best Boi.
My biggest criticisms:
1) It was too short. Maybe it only makes sense for an absurd comedy game to keep it short so it doesn't overstay its welcome, but I became so attached to the characters that I lament I couldn't spend more time with them.
2) It's a bit broken. Specifically the text box. With most visual novels, you have the option when replaying the game to skip through text you've already read, and stop when it gets to something you haven't seen yet. This game does have that function, but it annoyingly will either not work, or work after you finagle with it by checking the "History", but not actually stop when you get to something new and just keep speeding through text.
That said: please, give this game more attention, if you can. There's a lot to, if not love, appreciate.
