this game has an incredible amount of style, and pretty decent substance. the gameplay and music are phenomenal, and the art and humor are very charming.
i will say that, for a game that is so explicitly inspired by undertale, it lacks some of the heart. the story's a lot bleaker and less well-rounded. however, i've only gotten one of the several endings, so maybe it goes in some more interesting directions? either way, it's still totally worth a look!

technically a polished game, with a nice running theme about job anxiety within capitalism, but that's the nicest i can really say about it.
i truly hate to say it, but it's...cringe. the writing, dialogue especially, is just so bland and twee, and the jokes never land. the art is not exactly bad, but i find it off-putting. it seems like the devs thought they could ride the wave of "wholesome queer western vn with a schtick" without putting anything interesting into it. droves of cheerful, monocultural queer people with very palatable problems is not the representation i personally am looking for.
my complaints are entirely subjective, and i know a lot of people love this game, but i think it's kinda basic at best and cynical at worst.

wandersong seems incredibly simple and wholesome upfront, and though it never entirely loses that, it gets rly interesting. it subverts gameplay and narrative expectations in clever ways without seeming above it all. it feels great, looks great, sounds GREAT, and leaves your brain and heart satisfied.
