I really did enjoy this game a lot. I do think there was an issue with pacing. There was never much of a sense of urgency when dealing with the paranormal issues until it was already too late. It took me out of the story a bit. I think the romance was great, but it happened at what I felt were unrealistic moments. I loved Maddie and Abigail! I didn't really like Tara or Morgan until the second half of the game. I'm glad they both had some growth. I wish I could adopt Morgan lol.

A well-written visual novel with some cool character designs and an interesting story. I was expecting something very fluffy and light based on the art but there are some dark surprises hidden by the sweet-looking packaging.
Contains all the quality of life features you would expect from a modern visual novel (skip read text, log, etc.) and the achievements are very straightforward. Be aware that this is a visual //novel// - you are only making three choices throughout the runtime of this game and it is not focused around romance (that you as the player control through your choices). The characters have defined arcs and the interactivity is really limited.
However when the writing is good and the characters are interesting and well-defined, this isn't a drawback! I will be playing more games by this dev!
