As much as I love this game, I'll attempt to list pros and cons, Pros: Truly deep storyline, I'm a straight male and haven't had this feeling of self discovery since I played Undertale and Deltarune pt 1. Endings that really make you go back again and again just to be sure you did the right thing, hidden by a cute, yet somehow beautiful and mysterious art style. Truly worth playing even if you don't like visual novels (You might change your mind) Cons: Fairly short, abrupt end, sad when it ends.

I love the way this game breaks the fourth wall, especially how rewinding is a big part of the story. Even with the limited characters, this game manages to make it work! Space is adorable, Nil is absolutely badass, everything is just perfect; and there are plenty of places where you can put in your input. The choices change your game alot, I'd give this game 10 stars if I could.

I'm positive I've reviewed this on my alternate, but I have no problem leaving you an extra five stars. This game, albeit short, is just... immaculate. It's beautiful, poetic, and a touch heartbreaking. I love the endings, and the characters... everything is just lovely, and I'm probably going to download and play it again just from talking about it.
