I'm gonna be completely honest, and state the biggest negative I have first with this game, then I'm going to try to convince you to still play this game regardless of it. Here goes.
So my biggest gripe with this game (a negative that usually makes me quit a game in the first few sentences), is the grammatical mistakes. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no English expert (I'm sure nitpickers can find grammatical mistakes in this review) and I try to give leeway to writers for mistakes here and there. But when every sentence or every other sentence has a grammatical mistake, or worse yet, reads like it is machine translated, I usually just go, "Imma head out", and delete the game. This game has repeated grammatical errors to the point that I started to "auto-fix" sentences in my head just to make them legible.
Now, why would I still give it a high rating, and recommend it, if I hate grammatical mistakes that much? Well, similar to the Deluca Family and Haley's story, the characters in this game are some of the most charming I've experienced. Nicole in particular starts off as an annoying, overprotective parent, but by the part, I'm at (post beach episode), I find myself genuinely getting mad whenever characters degrade her (the author did a great job of making me empathize with the protagonist in that regard). She becomes cute, well-rounded, and genuinely likable.
Another thing that's usually a deal breaker for me, is when stories use references or memes. Timestamps did that shit, and I instantly deleted it as soon as it happened. I won't spoil it, but this game used a Spiderman 1 reference that, instead of making me hate it, got a genuine chuckle out of me. I'm still on my first run, but something also tells me that this game has replay value, similar to Being a Dik.
TLDR - Ignore the grammar (if that sort of thing bothers you) and give it a try. You won't regret it.
