Wish I could give it a bigger score, the developer seems to be a good writer, and I love the premise, but the flaws, while not numerous, were far too big to ignore.
As mentioned before, I really like the setting. The pacing is slow, a bit too slow at times, but I don't mind a slow burn. Didn't care much about the music, but I've never been particularly interested in listening to music or SFX while playing a VN, and they can always be turned down or off, so it didn't impact my enjoyment one way or another.
The renders, while not great, are at least serviceable. They do look like they are related, which is nice. I also appreciate some characters having pubic hair, which is something that a lot of games avoid.
So why the low score? The characters. I like Lyna.
I like that she is a lot more assertive than your average female character. A bit bratty at times, but upbeat and the driving force through most of the game.
Helga is fine. Visually, probably the most appealing character. In terms of personality, not so much, but miles better than Erik. I can deal with Helga. What I can't deal with is Erik, by far one of the worst characters in the genre, as far as I'm concerned.
He is not only shy and reticent about what's happening. That would've been understandable. He's downright toxic, not just "emotional", and it makes it difficult to believe that Lyna would be even remotely attracted to him. I was waitning for a change for the better and it only kept getting worse. Erik is just a terrible character for the genre and a pretty lousy character in general.
