What players say
it was so fun when it wasn't crashing and deleting my save. Does not work on the steam deck.

A very stupid save game implementation on this game. Not only is it manual, but you have to be in a specific part of the map to activate it. No quick save or save menu options I found anyway. Need to quit, and want to save your progress? Work back through the maze to a point near the beginning. Maybe there are more later on, but so far I've found just the one.
I loved this game! It honestly screams indie with the 3D models and animations, but really, it just adds to the charm! The writing is funny, the voice acting is nice, the 2D art is great, and I love the cast of characters and how each one feels unique! Here's the thing though, I play romance games for a romance plot and not much else, so obviously, I'm a bit biased, but I didn't enjoy the metroidvania-style...
