I finished my first run in three sittings and was excited to keep going the entire time, it was entertaining as far as romance IF goes, and I was surprised to find some decent prose in there at certain points too. It was never a struggle to read. A good several hours worth of fun that’s worth the price, in my opinion. Beware losing your game progress! It’s not a major gripe because of how easily remedied it is, but if you’re planning on taking a break make sure to back out of the game text and back to the main menu or you might come back to find that the game’s kicked you back to the beginning. There’s no real way to manage your saves so be mindful of that, and read through carefully because there also isn’t any way to re-read old dialogue. ### 5/5 — LOVED *2023-05-29, version 1.0.6* Please make a million more.
