    I came in blind expecting nothing much, but the game is unironically pretty fun. The characters are all likeable, the gameplay is easy to learn and understand. The story is simple, yet impactful (Maybe because I have become attached to them in the short duration). Give it a try. Really fun 7.7/10

    Art is cute, mechanics are fun, and it's like reading through your fav teen novel. I always find myself gravitating back to it. I would recommend many people to play it, even if it may not be everyone's cup of tea. It deserves more recognition.

    I really wanted to like this game. I finished it at launch and felt really disappointed. I've been sitting on this for the past week, wondering if I should write a negative review for a game that seems to have been dead on arrival anyways. But I actually haven't seen anyone bring up my particular gripes, so here goes. The world next door feels unfinished, too simple in its puzzles and shallow for a "visual novel".…
