The art is absolutely stunning—simply beautiful. You can tell that the developer (or developers) put a great deal of care into every line and detail, which is something I truly appreciate.
The story itself is extraordinary and deeply engaging. The mix of drama and humor is well-executed, and I still can't get over how much I want to know more about jellyfish dumplings—HAHAHAHA!
One thing to note is that the game includes certain expressions (even when translated into English) that are deeply rooted in everyday Japanese culture. This might feel a bit unfamiliar to those who aren't used to it. Another recurring theme in the dialogue is pregnancy, which, in my opinion, adds even more depth and uniqueness to the storytelling. Personally, I always seek out games that include pregnancy as a theme, as it's something I enjoy exploring in the games I play.
I reached out to the developer about this aspect and, while I understand their reasoning, I was a bit disappointed with the response. That said, consider this a request, a suggestion, or simply a fan’s thoughts on this kind of theme:
I love when pregnancy is not just an "ending" in a game but a natural, evolving part of the story—one that can happen at different points, depending on the characters' progress. This adds realism, emotion, and an entirely new layer of drama. Even an "accidental" occurrence could make things more dynamic (hint: alcohol is known to reduce the effectiveness of contraceptives), and fertile periods could introduce moments where things spiral a little out of control (you get the idea).
A couple might also explore new curiosities when pregnancy comes into play, such as cravings, adult breastfeeding, and adapting to different positions as the belly grows. These details could make for interesting gameplay mechanics and storytelling moments.
Anyway, this is just my humble contribution to the review. And if you’re wondering why I didn’t give it a full 5 stars—well, I reserve that rating for games that feel complete, with a well-structured beginning, development, and conclusion. This is still a (beautiful) work in progress!
