small hidden gem, puzzles gave me a run for my money though

Quite a good game for someone's second go at creating something. The story is absolutely something rich, the puzzles are something I think most unique, and wished it could be expanded on in some sequel. The endings that let you do your desires or not, its freeing compared to other games, and the changes in the story depending on the swapping of genders or completion is a nice touch. The ost I actually really like, Sunny Sigh being my favourite as it just feels so resigned to the SuperEgo, Endgame being the most focused, Twin Desires being the most depressing, but absolutely right to how the bad endings play out. I wonder if I should make a video about this game's full scope, as I've data-mined it, this game is made in godot ( the best engine I personally think ).

Since most of her personality is represented by her various thoughts and her past (and which thoughts she listened to), you can still get input from them while still making your own choices. [spoiler] In fact learning when not to listen to them seems to be one of the major themes. [/spoiler] The story does a really good job of showing the flaws in both characters and systems. From a society that chooses not to believe and brush off victims in favor of not disrupting the status quo. [spoiler] As well as giving you a protagonist that isn't fully justified but more vindictive and vengeful. And since you can see into their minds, you get that extra human element of characters having thoughts that you know are wrong and shouldn't listen to, as well a…

It's peak Yuri Don't worry about the puzzles too much. On first-timer intended settings it feels more like a physics puzzler. What with your pieces moving in a line until they're stopped or bounced off a wall.

Fun puzzle thing. Cool story
