Hey! I played the game!
First of all, I really loved the vibes of the game. The main menu looked particularly great, but I really appreciated the mood, the lights, the ambiance! Even the pose Rose was drawn in participated to it! The music track also contributed to it all in an amazing way!
For the story, it was quite endearing to me. It reminded me of my... youth... *is about to cry realising he's old*
More seriously, it reminded me of these years that followed high school: you try to make plans with your friends, but you fail because you are all too busy and have different schedules. And when you finally meet, you realise that they have changed, you've changed too and sometimes too much to really find the connection you had with them in high school. That felt quite bittersweet to me when I was 18/19, but with the years, I've learnt to look peacefully at it: it's just part of life, you meet people, you spend a few years with them, then your roads diverge, only leaving you with sweet memories of the time spent together.
You really did great, Esbi, it was very poignant! Congrats!
