Steam review snapshots
Cons: -I'm tired of the demure, bullied protagonist with low self-esteem, reminds me too much of my mother -seriously, Aspen, your self-awareness…It's fun while it lasts, but I kind of wish it left me with a bigger emotional impact and/or more to think…If you come into it hoping for conclusive romance or a well-defined plot in general, you'll be disappointed, as its focus seems…The mystery is very fun to explore and Aspen and Althea have a very fun dynamic.Why it fits
