My first time playing Lessons in Love was December 13, 2020. One week before that, randomly browsing through itch.io, I had picked about five games on a whim, LiL included (I saw a picture of depressed Rin, which piqued my interest.) For the following one and a half years, I kept downloading the public builds released on Itch every month. At that time, I didn't know this site existed. Shortly before joining here, LiL was removed/blocked from Itch temporarily (due to some ethics org's complaints or something.) Wanting to know what happened, I stumbled upon this thread, registered, and was exposed to many great games. I'm thankful.
I also didn't read the description and thought it was a standard dating sim (this was another pleasant surprise, as I've always enjoyed denpa.)
