this is sooo gooddd !!
at first it reminded me of another game on here that i can never remember the name of, but it also had a character named carter which is what drew me to this. So happy i clicked !!

i absolutely love how much detail we can give to ourself, and i especially love that the game hints to you being a person of color by default. like when choosing your appearance the first options are dark skin and coily hair, and then as we go it gives your more european features. i just felt rlly happy about that after always seeing the default character be typically white.
i also loved the inclusivity for gender, and how the started character is hinted to be trans. i loved the binder and trans scars, and even tho i didnt pick them myself it made me happy seeing my community being represented <33

SORRY IF THIS IS JUST WORD VOMIT OR IF ITS TO SPECIFIC, I LIKED A LOT THIS AND AM SOO WAITING FOR THE FULL RELEASEE !! 

GOD IM SO LATE TO THIS UPDATE

if you dont let me romance that damn kestrel girl i swear to god i will start a riot. also, i had a second save where i was a little nicer to renard because in my first one i was really mean, and now i feel like starting a 3rd save where im nicer to zander cuz FUCK im so rude to him and i just now realized hes not that bad when i accidentally entered his room. i thought he was spooky and scary since he seems to be on bad terms with carter but i think im just putting to much faith in my old man and fucking up all possible relationships (platonic or not) 

CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE, THE GAME IS GOING SO GREAT. KEEP IT UP !!!!

I MADE AN ACCOUNT JUST TO COMMENT ON THIS GAME OF YOURS SPECIFICALLY

ok i dont wanna be toooo harsh because i enjoyed it much and most of my complaints other people have already said so methinkles i'll put my highlights first !!

it was so fucking weird. i love it.
ofcourse, as always. PERFECT ART !!!! waaaah i love the artstyle and the character designs and just how diverse it all looks and feels, the lineart being kinda blurry or uneven just makes it so good to look at and you guys just did so awesomesauce as always
THE CHARACTER WAAAAAH THEYR ESO GOOODD !!!! your other games i feel are much more story driven (especially so since theyre longer) and obviously they have character but this one i feel focuses sooo much more on interaction and personality and just making the characters feel so real. they all have their own dynamics and blend so wonderfully with one other. you can see the little trio/duos in the group but they all get along so well as one unit and it truely feels like no one is left out. reminds me of my own friendgroup a lot :) 
the creepy shots in this are so. good. SOO GODFODD DGRPDGUEGEJ i was actually sooo spooked oh my goddd. when we first go to the buffet and that weirdo guy grabs our hand i my stomach actually dropped, and when mcwhatever was chugging water? CHILLS !!! especially since the game really nailed everybodys mood and personality so seeing that get totally flipped in such a short time is sooo scary ! you know mcboy is happy and silly, you know that carmen is super comfortable and carefree, you know that von is playfully snarky, so when you see them act totally wrong it wrenches your gut and leaves you not only scared and concerned but also hurt.

ok im glazing, im a sucker for character interaction. dont even get me started on ryan,, AND JUNE AND RYAN... and jsut

my complains areeeee pretty standard from what ive seen. the game was really short and i wish we got more time to play around with all the characters. studio investigrave is pretty horror focused on most of their games (atleast the endings are) but i feel like this game couldve done really well as just like a cute thingy. maybe a spin off would be cool? something different from their usual vibe, because i feel like if expanded upon people could really become attatched to these characters !
ofcourse the ending was very abrupt and confusing. i replayed it a few times because i was sure i missed something that would give me a longer finish, but no. you just end at the ocean. (however this is not an entirely bad thing. ive had fun all day wondering what happened and trying to think of theories !! just wish we had more to go off of)

ok thats it. those were my only complaints, and one of them wasnt even a full complaint it since it was half compliment. i really like this game, i wish it was longer, and i think you guys did really good considering it was made in one month. i could neverr !! i hope you guys will expand on it or make a spin off, or i hope to see LOTS of fanart of these dudes atleast. even if u dont, excited to see your next game ! stay fantastical -johnny
