The quality of the art, story, and choice options for this title make it a surprise it’s free on Steam. I finished it in one sitting and it was a relaxing four hours. There are multiple endings so there’s a decent amount of replayability.

While the character creation is bare, the options available are good. Players can choose between a feminine or masculine appearance, then move on to choosing their pronouns and then sexual preferences which drilled down even further making it surprisingly specific.

The story was enjoyable and relatable. It follows the MC as they begin pulling themselves out of depression by taking small steps to take better care of themselves, make new connections, and being productive towards their goals.

I was disappointed that I couldn’t play this on Steam Deck due to not being able to use the keyboard to type. There were a few spelling/grammar errors but not many. There were also several scenes that had no music or audio which had me at times wondering whether I muted the game on accident.

I recommend this game to those looking for a light-hearted dating sim about art, mental illness, and getting good at adulting.

    Played it for a bit because of this post.

    The J.K. Rowling quote in front of the bookstore did not age well at all. But beyond that, it was a cute game. It’s just too bad that dating sims aren’t really my thing.
