What players say
I really enjoyed this game. I don't regularly play games with pixel graphics, and now I feel like I've been missing out on a ton of fun. I found the story to be incredibly promising and clearly setting up a lot of world-building for future content that hopefully will come one day. Being queer is a part of the story, and I like that it was something that wasn't subtle or briefly mentioned, but instead an actual part...

Positives: world-building is extremely interesting, there are some really emotional moments that surprised me, gameplay was fun and not too difficult Negatives: writing could be a little clunky, the development of romantic feelings (both books) seems rushed, storyline is unfinished even after book 2, forgiving Jarrow and going on a date with him happens too quickly for me to feel comfortable with it especially after...
Initially I was set on disliking the game, albeit it won over me, especially with the DLC. The graphics are great, the music is somewhat decent, however, the story and especially the dialogue still needs work. Thumbs up for improvements in the second part of the story, the DLC really did make it more worth it. I do hope though that there's more to come to this game.
