I really feel a connection to the characters, there's a lot of depth to them, and also overall one of my favorite MCs ever (MCs are hard). Kinda threw me for an emotional loop as I try to figure out my own life. It maintains a curious balance between otherworldliness yet relevance to real-world struggles of real people in this moment in history. And of course it's sexy.
My favorite aspect is the whole unrequited(?) love with an element of distance & lots of complexity for the 'soul-mate'. That stuff hit me hard, and this drawn-out flavor is perhaps unique among the hundred or so games on f95 I've played. Then there's the whole joy of something comparable to either coming out or transitioning, with the special emotional intensity of acceptance. Rich bitchy girl is rather well done too, though that's quite common & been done well in prominent titles e.g. Eternum or Pale Carnations.
My greatest hopes for this going forward (reviewing at 0.4) are that the author pulls off the blackmail stuff well (so far it's hard to say; there are many other excellent blackmail games & it's been a bit cookie-cutter & light; the bar is high;
) and also that the NTR-thing remains somehow sensitive & attuned to the intense soulmate-love thing that's been built (but also gets super messed up & sexy. Gotta dance that tricky dance). Both of these aspects seem most easy to mess up, but if they can be done well, this'll be a game for the ages for particular readers like me.
