I played [i]One Night, Hot Springs[/i] years ago and only recently found out about this longer version. This was such a great game. As a non-binary person who experiences body dysphoria, I really resonated with Haru's story of discovering she's trans and how society treats her. She struggles to find her place because so many people refuse to see her as the woman she is. Watching her journey really pulled at my heartstrings. I think this might be the best game about being trans I’ve ever played.

I've never played a visual novel. (well that's a lie, i played danganronpa for about an hour.) as a trans woman, I usually will tell myself to stay away from LGBT content because of how either overly degrading, or how overly appraising it can be, in pretty much all forms of content. this game is breaking this rule that i have set myself. i love how haru was written, what a great character. i don't think i ever related to a video game character out of all things so deeply. with that beside said, this is great. if you have a soft-spot for childish artstyles & endearing yet silly-ish writing, this game is for you. it's quite short, i played through majority of it already but it's only 3 dollars as i'm writing this, it's very much worth the small price tag for the amount of engaging content that it gives you. also the soundtrack is very cute.

I did not anticipate a single twist in this game, and each one just made my heart melt. I love this little game so much, i'd buy it three times over all over again just to support this story as much as i could. Being a trans girl who hasn't been able to freely express herself that much do to circumstances has really caused me to feel upset about a lot of stuff lately, and.. I think this game helps me get through these times, knowing i could have a future like Haru does. This game made me tear up, and each chapter just improved incredibly. I truly adore this game, and i'll absolutely be returning to it in the future for a re-play whenever i'm feeling down. Thank you for making this, it's incredible :)

I was honestly worried booting this game up just because I've always struggled with visual novels but the artstyle caught my eye and the story being relatable (kinda in a sad way) was very nice. I'm glad it didn't go into the full hostility that lgbtq+ normally get but still showed how we get affected by prejudice and "modern" laws. Also Haru and Erika are so cute together I love them lol
