Can’t create an account

When I’m trying to create account, it keeps taking me to this thing that says get premium and I’m pressing X and it keeps taking me back

Bellissimo

È stato un esperienza di gioco davvero bellissima ho pure pianto un pochino, comunque lo consiglio, l’unica cosa che mi dispiace è che è finito in fretta.
Sia le illustrazioni che la musica erano bellissime.

Very interesting and unexpected!

Honestly I am pretty good at picking up how a story will end before it really starts, but I was really shocked at how unpredictable the entire story was. Very beautiful, I would play more from this creator.
