A clever and emotionally resonant story about love and empowerment. The game's gorgeous to look at and listen to, and it ties its mechanics to the narrative in engaging ways. There's a bit of thematic depth too -- it's not superficial. Your appreciation of the game will probably depend on your own relationship with romance, and how much emotional meaning you draw from opposite-gender couples in fiction. I'm not particularly romantic and don't relate much to opposite-gender couples, so the story didn't affect me as strongly as it might affect other people. But I still had a good time and came away with some things to chew on. I'd recommend it.
